A small market square with a fountain and beautiful half-timbered buildings. It's hard to know where to look first. There are plenty of wine bars and nice restaurants. On the way to Landshut Castle (Karlstrasse) you'll find one of the most striking half-timbered houses on the right, the Spitzhäuschen.

The town of Bernkastel-Kues with its half-timbered houses on the Moselle is always worth a visit.
Very cozy with the market square and the beautiful half-timbered houses.
There you can get top-quality wines in various wine bars.
Highly recommended!

The half-timbered house, built in 1416, is an outstanding masterpiece of rural, middle-class building and living culture of the Middle Ages and at the same time a prime example of old Moselle winegrowers' houses.
The building is located on the market square and is immediately noticeable due to its unusual design, as it grows upwards in a very small space and hence bears its name. It is said that the reason for this type of construction was, on the one hand, the property tax, which at that time only had to be paid for the built-up area; On the other hand, the street on which the pointed house is located was too narrow with a normal, uniform design, so that the ox carts used to be unable to pass through the street because of its width.

The cozy wine bar of the Schmitz-Herges family winery has been located in the over 500-year-old building since 1970. There you can experience conviviality and wonderful times together in a special ambience and can taste the range of over 50 Riesling and red wines from our own cultivation.
