After thorough renovation between 1992 and 1997, Monaise Castle, which is owned by the city of Trier, is now used as a restaurant. The estate is now an equestrian facility for the Trier Post Sports Club (Wikipedia). The castle can only be viewed from the outside!

Schloss Monaise is a beautiful castle. It was built in the 18th century as a summer residence and is only a few meters from the banks of the Moselle. Since 1997, Schloss Monaise has been shining again in its original, typically kept color of the Louis-Seize style.

The old town of Saarburg with the castle, the church, the mill museum and the waterfall is definitely a magnet for visitors, at least in the summer months. Unfortunately, the old town is usually flooded with tourists on the weekends.

Monaise Castle (from French "mon aise" "my leisure", "my lightness", "my comfort", "my comfort", "my serenity", "my calm" - according to the Latin motto under the coat of arms: "Otium cum dignitate") on the Moselle has belonged to the Euren district of Trier since the "ban dispute" in 1853, together with the estate. Architecturally speaking, Monaise is perhaps the best-preserved example of a late 18th-century suburban villa in Germany. (Source: Wikipedia)

A great photo opportunity with a well-kept outdoor area

Heid Castle is actually not a classic castle. It was originally an estate that has existed since the 14th century. Only in the 19th century was the building rebuilt accordingly.

The early neoclassical castle, which is historically closely linked to Zewen and to today's Zewen district of Oberkirch, was built by François Ignace Mangin in 1779-1783 as a summer residence for the Trier cathedral dean and later Prince-Bishop of Speyer, Philipp Franz Wilderich Nepomuk von Walderdorf. It was built as a pleasure palace with large representative rooms on the first floor, a simple upper floor (for the servants) and a large terrace and staircase and is surrounded by a park. For this purpose, Oberkirch's "sister village" Niederkirch was demolished.

Very nice castle 🏰 with a great little castle park 👍
