wonderful view of Lieser Castle

St. Paul's Church on the Paulsberg hill is nestled amidst magnificent vineyards overlooking the ancient Moselle valley. Until the 16th century, St. Paul's Church was the religious center of fourteen surrounding villages and a popular pilgrimage destination. It is arguably the oldest church in the region and served as a refuge for the population during the difficult times of the 1848 revolution. Source: https://www.lieser-mosel.de/paulskirche/

This ancient place of worship, originally dedicated to the Holy Cross, became a place of pilgrimage and a religious center for fourteen surrounding villages thanks to a relic of the cross. It served as the parish church of Lieser until the 16th century, when a new church was built in the center of the village. A hermit's dwelling has been documented since 1618, which still exists today and was inhabited until the middle of the 19th century. Over time, the patronage of the hermit Paul became established for the church. The oldest parts of the present church are likely the cross-vaulted sacristy and the west wing (portal marked 1617) with vestibule, former goat stable, and the hermitage above. Until the 18th century, the southern part of the west wing (vestibule and hermitage) was probably developed as a tower; today, there is a small turret above the nave. In 1718, construction began on the new choir and nave, which had become dilapidated. Source: https://www.pr-bernkastel

📍 Veldenz district Between the church and the castle lies a lovingly preserved half-timbered house – typical of the Moselle region, with curved beams, flower boxes, and an old front door. Under heavily overcast skies, it looked almost like a painting, and when the sun later broke through, it glowed particularly warmly. 💡 Tip: Ideal for a quick photo or simply a moment of appreciation. If you take your time, you'll discover small details – from the doorknob to the roof tile.

📍 Veldenz – Town Center The hike begins at the imposing Catholic Parish Church of the Holy Name of Mary, a neo-Gothic building from the late 19th century. With its quarry slate facade and pointed towers, it is a striking starting point for the tour. From here, the trail leads through the picturesque villages of the region. Home 💡 Tip: A quick look inside the church is worthwhile – the architecture and atmosphere perfectly set the mood for the upcoming hike.

⛪ Veldenz Evangelical Church A small, quiet village church with a special charm. Anyone passing by here should pause for a moment—be it for a quiet photo, a moment of reflection, or simply to experience how peaceful this place is. I was here as part of my hike along the Graf Georg Johannes Trail.

You are walking between the vineyards and I was fascinated by the vast expanse of the vineyards

The church was built in the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style. The neighboring bell tower was formerly a signal tower for Veldenz Castle.
