Catholic parish church. Foundation stone laid in 1685

Good starting point for a bike tour along the Nied.

Ideal for cooling off on hot days. But unfortunately, it's not drinking water.

Pretty little farm roads lead up to Mangelhausen, which you usually have all to yourself. There are beautiful views everywhere.

One building that testifies to Saarlouis as a fortress town is the German Gate. It forms the entrance to the city center and leads to the Great Market, the former parade ground. After the Battle of Waterloo, Saarlouis fell to the Prussians on December 1, 1815, who built casemates to the right and left of the German Gate (also on the sides of the French Gate, 450 meters away) from 1824 to 1829. These earth-covered vaults served as bullet-proof quarters for soldiers and horses during enemy attacks, but also as command posts. In peacetime, they were used as storage rooms for weapons and provisions. As traffic increased, the German Gate was demolished in 1886. In 1969, the casemate extensions to the right and left of the street were built as pedestrian passages. Today, the casemates east of Deutsche Straße house numerous restaurants. Opposite the German Gate was the provisions store, built between 1819 and 1822, which today serves as a warehouse for a department store. On the left outside of the gate, there are clear signs of the reconstruction of the building with the golden Prussian royal crown and the Prussian coat of arms, both of which are reminiscent of the Prussian period after 1815: From 1969 onwards, a historicizing ensemble with passages for pedestrians was built at the old location of the German Gate - without reference to the historical model. The buildings were decorated with cannons and coats of arms, thus conveying a certain historical character. The cannons date from the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71, which once adorned the war memorial at today's administrative court. Source: https://www.kuladig.de/Objektansicht/KLD-354059

As a beginner road cyclist, it was really hard, I must say

At the gates of Saalouis. Beautiful and well-preserved part of the fortress. The town center is also very interesting.

Impressive fortress gate near Saarlouis - a former garrison town.
