Römervilla Blankenheim

Blankenheim

The villa of Blankenheim is one of the most considerable ground monuments from the Roman time in the Rhineland. Once it was a large Roman estate (villa rustica) with a luxurious main building and stables, barns, remises and accommodations for servants, that were arranged around a commodious farmyard. The first archeological studies took place in 1894.

The Roman villa of Blankenheim is yet the only known sample of a represented axial villa in the Rhineland.

Kunsthof Greven

In the highlands of Bad Münstereifel, in the midst of a unique Eifel landscape with hills and valleys, meadows, forests and fields, you will find the Kunsthof Greven on a restored half-timbered farm with 7500 square metres of surrounding land. Over the past few years, an artistic gem has been created there that is second to none.

Swister Turm

The Swister Tower near Weilerswist is a remnant of the old parish and pilgrimage church of the vanished village of Swist on the Swisterberg (built c. 1100-1125). Foundation remains of the nave are attributed to the 9th century. Archaeological finds from Roman times indicate that the first Christian church was built over a Roman sanctuary. The St. James pilgrimage route passes directly by the tower.
