Itinerary

Start your tour in the Old Town where you will come across timbered houses, cafes and cobblestone streets. Here, you will have a chance to see the Burg Monschau, a Castle that dates back to the 13th century.

You will visit the 18th century Rotes Haus (Red House), which is a very famous landmark. It was used as a lavish residence and corporate headquarters by the Scheibler family that was involved in producing textiles, the best in Europe at that time.

As we continue, you will walk by the Felsenkeller Brauhaus & Museum which is a 150 year old brewery containing collections of bottles and jugs from across the world.

Next, you will see the Rathaus (City Hall). It is built on the same location where a house existed as early as 1654.

Finish your tour at the Senfmühle Monschau, which is a historic family owned mustard mill for more than 100 years.
