The house is quite hidden in a narrow alley. The basement is quite narrow and slightly wider on the first floor.

Yes, that was actually in a Harry Potter film! "Voldemort: Why are you still alive?

Harry: Because I have something worth living for."

We don't know for sure whether Harry meant Bernkastel-Kues by "something", but...

Bernkastel-Kues was the setting for a Harry Potter film. In "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1", Harry enters Lord Voldemort's mind and travels to the accommodation of wandmaker Mykew Gregorowitsch in Diagon Alley. In this alley there is a tall, narrow half-timbered house with two narrow windows on the front: the pointed house on the market square in Bernkastel.

The half-timbering, which overhangs on three sides, was only uncovered in 1914. In the years before that, the half-timbering had been plastered over because of the fire hazard. The pretty bay window and the half-timbered facades are testament to the traditional architecture on the Moselle.

The construction of the pointed house symbolizes the transition from the Renaissance to the Baroque in a vivid and vivid way.

Winegrower's house and wine bar
It is also a typical example of old Moselle winegrower's houses with its wine cellar built with slate stones and oak beams, the upper floors protruding on both sides and the high attic for winter feed and pets. Inside the house, on the ground floor, is now the wine bar of the Schmitz-Herges family winery.
