The winding old town with hundreds of listed buildings gives the impression that time has passed more slowly here. Along the river, small squares open up where life unfolds quietly. The Red House tells of the prosperity of former cloth-making families and shows how closely craftsmanship and urban development were linked. Walking through the alleys, you get a feeling of security that comes from the architecture, landscape and regional tradition. Monschau invites you to get to know the Eifel in its romantic form."

Monschau: half‑timbered charm in the Rur valley

 Monschau lies nestled in the narrow valley of the Rur and is one of those places where history is visible in every facade. The winding old town with hundreds of listed buildings gives the impression that time has passed more slowly here. Along the river, small squares open up where life unfolds quietly. The Red House tells of the prosperity of former cloth-making families and shows how closely craftsmanship and urban development were linked. Walking through the alleys, you get a feeling of security that comes from the architecture, landscape and regional tradition. Monschau invites you to get to know the Eifel in its romantic form.
