Hof der Grauen Schwestern von Trier

  • Kröv

Magnificent vineyard in the typical Moselle half-timbered style

In contrast to most noble and monastic wine estates in Kröv, this house is built in the Moselle typical half-timbered style on a massive basement. The residential house was completely rebuilt in 1733, reusing the old framework, at the old location, and the press house was renovated. In the early 19th century, the former press house (right building part Ehrenmalstraße) was converted into a residential house. The Grey Sisters of the St. Nicholas Monastery in Trier owned this magnificent wine estate and the associated vineyards until the secularization. Various girls from Kröv and Kinheim contributed their inheritance to the monastery when they became nuns there. At that time, the vineyards were mostly leased to vassals. From 1765 onward, they were all converted to Riesling cultivation; that is, almost a generation before the promotion by Elector Clemens Wenzeslaus.
