Open guided tour of the "Klause" national monument

  • Kastel-Staadt

Discover the Klause on a guided tour! On a sandstone plateau, high above the Saar, lies the “Klause” of Kastel-Staadt with fascinating views over the Saar Valley. The former Celtic-Roman refuge and hermit's dwelling was converted into a burial church for the blind King Johann of Bohemia by the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV. through his architect Karl Friedrich von Schinkel. This created one of the most significant examples of Romanesque architecture. Information about the Saar-Obermosel vacation region can be found at www.saar-obermosel.de
