Schloss Schleiden

Schleiden

The Schleiden Castle Church is one of the most significant late-Gothic hall churches in the Northern Eifel and will impress you with its rich history and unique interior. Originally consecrated in 1230 as a castle chapel, it was replaced by a Gothic church around 1340. Between 1516 and 1525, the three-nave, late-Gothic hall church was finally constructed, and you can still experience it today largely unchanged.

A special highlight is the nearly original König organ from 1770. With its 30 sounding stops and 1,702 pipes, it ranks among the region’s most outstanding historic organs. The colorful Renaissance windows from 1535, depicting scenes from the life of Jesus, are also impressive historical artifacts.

It is a journey back in time to the world of the cloth industry. In 1961, factory owner Kurt Müller closed the doors of his cloth factory in the Eifel, hoping to reopen it soon. This did not come true, but today visitors can take a unique tour of a factory where robust woollen fabrics and loden cloth were produced for many years. They are immersed in the world of dyeing and weaving and experience how some of the machines are brought back to life during a guided tour and how people used to work here.

Urfttalsperre

The Urft Dam is the oldest valley dam in the Eifel and is located in the middle of the Eifel National Park. At the time, the dam was planned as the largest structure in Europe. Construction of the 266 m long wall made of quarry stones began in 1899 - in May 1905 the dam was filled with water for the first time. In addition to flood protection and energy generation, the aim of the hydraulic engineering measure was to supply the region with drinking water. With a length of 12 km, a width of up to 1 km and a maximum depth of 52 m, Lake Urft has a capacity of 45.5 million cubic metres. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)
