Centre Charlemagne Aachen: history at the heart of the city

At the Centre Charlemagne you experience Aachen in a way that guides you through its past step by step. Located at the Katschhof, once the palace courtyard of Charlemagne, the museum blends archaeological traces with contemporary storytelling. Multimedia stations lead you through early settlements, the Roman city, the baroque spa era and Aachen’s European identity. The calm interior allows you to take in the many impressions. A visit offers both historical depth and quiet moments of wonder.
