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, which you can still experience 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.

    Aschestrom in Bad Tönisstein

    Burgbrohl
    Open today

    Almost 13,000 years ago, glowing clouds from the Laacher See volcano raced down the Brohltal and filled it with loose volcanic masses. This impressive spectacle can still be seen here today. Follow the road on the right behind the building complex and go uphill for a few meters. On the slope to the right, the layers of ash (trass) that have settled on the rocks of the older basement can be clearly seen. And where volcanoes were active, mineral springs are usually not far away.
