- Zell (Mosel)
Marienburg ( Marienburg castle) The Marienburg is located high above on the mountain ridge at which the Mosel bight of the Zell Hamm narrows to less than 300 metres. From here, visitors have a fantastic view of the wine-growing towns and villages of the Zell region and the almost 14 km long Mosel bight. Over 1000 years ago there was already a castle where the Marienburg now stands.
Due to its picturesque location, Marienburg is a place where one can experience the scenic beauty of the Moselle region in a particularly sustainable way. Where the Marienburg stands today, there was already a castle more than 1000 years ago. In 1146, an Augustinian convent was founded at the same site. In 1515, this convent was dissolved and a fortification was built in its place, which was destroyed by French auxiliary troops in 1650. In the Baroque period, the Marienburg was rebuilt; some wall remnants at the edge of the large parking lot come from the former "Marienburger Hof", which was rebuilt in the Middle Ages, and the late Gothic choir has been preserved. Thus, the Marienburg is not only a place of scenic beauty and historical significance, but also an architectural structure of art historical interest, showcasing three architectural styles: the manor house dates from the 12th century, the late Gothic choir from the other half of the 15th century, and the elevated choir wall with oval windows from the 18th century. Today, the building houses a guest and conference center, the Marienburg Educational Center. It offers space for celebrations, conferences, or simply to relax.
