EXPERIENCE THE OLD TOWN OF BERNKASTEL-KUES

Half-timbered houses, narrow alleys, and the delights of the Moselle

The historic market square forms the heart of Bernkastel-Kues’s Old Town. Centuries-old half-timbered houses line the area around the Michaelsbrunnen fountain, creating a unique backdrop for a leisurely stroll.

The Renaissance town hall dominates the market square with its historic facade. Together with the fountain and the surrounding half-timbered houses, it is one of the Old Town’s most distinctive landmarks.
