    Tips

    Like many medieval cities, Rhens also had a city wall that was intended to protect the citizens inside from threats in the event of a siege. Construction of the city wall began in 1396 and the work was completed in 1424. To this day, the course of this wall can be traced very well, as many parts are still preserved and others have been restored. It gives an impression of the former Rhens cityscape and clearly separates the old city center with its half-timbered buildings from modern Rhens.

      Rhens still has a town wall with numerous gates and towers around its historical town centre. Definitely worth seeing.
