Hello dear Moselle riders and wine lovers
Here I would like to show you a few sights of our beautiful town. I hope you enjoy looking at the pictures.
By the way: A good drop also tastes good here.
-
The waterfront WITH ST. MICHELS CHURCH
At the foot of the Bernkastel district you will find the Catholic parish church of St. Michael. As a symbol of the city, its silhouette now serves as the skyline of the romantic wine village.
-
The historic market square with Michael's fountain
The medieval market square is one of the main attractions for every Moselle vacationer. The centuries-old half-timbered houses, the Renaissance town hall (1608), the graceful St. Michael's Fountain (1606) and the picturesque Spitzhäuschen (1416) are a reflection of the living poetry of the Middle Ages.
-
The Spitzhäuschen
The half-timbered house, built in 1416, is an excellent masterpiece of rural and bourgeois building and living culture of the Middle Ages and at the same time a primal example of old, Moselle winegrowers' houses.
-
The bear fountain
The bear fountain on Graacherstrasse was demolished in 1899. A new Bärenpütz has stood here since 1968. An imposing work with two life-size bears - the heraldic animals of the city of Bernkastel - on a mighty fountain made of gray basalt.
-
The Cusanus Birthplace
The house where Nikolaus von Kues was born is now a museum and is located on the banks of the Moselle in Kues. Nikolaus von Kues was one of the great polymaths of the Renaissance: legal scholar, philosopher, theologian, astronomer and taught in many subjects. He was significantly shaped by his profession as a priest and cardinal. He was constantly looking for ways to God, but he realized that we cannot grasp God with our thinking.
-
St. Nikolaus-Hospital (Cusanus Foundation)
A foundation in the service of the people.
The St. Nikolaus Hospital in Bernkastel-Kues is the late Gothic foundation of the Cardinal and Bishop of Brixen Nikolaus von Kues. The founder founded the facility on December 3, 1458 as a hospital for the poor for exactly 33 single men from the nobility, clergy and bourgeoisie.
-
Landshut Castle
Antique fort and castle complex - when you are up here, you can enjoy more than just a magnificent view of the Moselle town! If you travel to Bernkastel-Kues by land or across the river on holiday, your gaze immediately falls on the Landshut castle ruins, which tower high above the old town.
