The Büchelturm has stood in the southwest of the city center since the 14th century and symbolizes the "resurrection" after disasters. It withstood several destructions and defied the inferno of the bombs in the Ardennes Offensive. The scars are still visible today, as can be seen from the different colored stones.

You can visit the Büchel Tower. The keys are available during opening hours at the Tourist Info!
It is worth reading the memorial stone above the entrance door!

The town's mighty parish church, consecrated to St. Vitus, was rebuilt in neo-Romanesque style after the Second World War and consecrated on June 14, 1959 by Bishop Wilhelm-Maria van Zuylen. The previous Gothic building was destroyed by Allied bombs at Christmas 1944.
