Koenigsberg Farm was indeed a very ecclesiastical place from the very outset (12th Century). The
farming land was worked by a sharecropper. Two priors from the Rettel Charterhouse (the farm’s owners since
1640) reconstructed it from 1719 to 1733.
Decor: Above the pedestrian’s door of the main building you can see a date in Roman numerals, which corresponds to the date of construction. You can also
see the statue of St John the Baptist in the alcove.
In the garden on the left of the building you can still see a well, built in 1727 and classified as a monument.
It is not open to visitors.
The Königsberger Hof: It has been a church property since its origins in the 12th century. The agricultural area was from
managed by a tenant. In 1640 it came into the possession of the Carthusian Abbey in Rettel. Two of these priors left him between 1719 and 1733
rebuild.
Facilities: A chronogram is located above the building's pedestrian gate. The letters of the inscription are Roman numerals: MDCLLVVVIII. She
give the indication of the year of construction: 1719. Above there is a niche with a statuette of Saint John the Baptist.
In the garden, on the left side of the building, there is a monumental fountain built in 1727 that is a listed building.
A historic farm in a secluded location on the Stromberg plateau near Niederkontz – with old stables, a tranquil atmosphere, and distant views extending into the Moselle Valley. The farm dates back to monastic structures and still shapes the landscape today.
Tip: Ideal for a short rest in tranquil surroundings – especially atmospheric in the early evening when the light and landscape harmonize.
