Monschau: Provinical and Picturesque

The German town of Monschau is the epitome of quintessential culture and captivating quaintness; the authoritative castle gazes solemnly over the sloping slate roofs and wonderfully white facades of the town’s houses while the surrounding hills impose a strong sense of serenity. In the historic heart of the town, half-timbered houses and intriguing monuments evoke the illustrious past of Monschau. Wander the sinuous streets to discover architectural gems or simply sit beside the gentle River Rur to absorb the palpable peace of the town; the internationally renowned Christmas market is another unmissable event in this tantalising town.

Castles and Collections

Irrefutably Monschau’s most legendary landmark, Monschau Castle is a stolid and stout structure whose stone walls and postured turrets allude to a turbulent past. Spectacular views can be enjoyed from the castle, which is now used as a cultural centre that hosts art exhibitions and music concerts.
