Altstadt

Winding alleys, narrow cobblestone streets, and gravel paths lead through some of the most remarkable structures in Monschau. A mosaic of half-timbered buildings and time-honored landmarks, the historic heart of Monschau is a delight to explore. Having preserved its cultural and historical essence, Altstadt's medieval character is exemplified by the striking facades of charming houses and shopfronts, which evoke a vivid image of the past. A veritable attraction in itself, the old town of Monschau also features longstanding sites such as the Rote Haus and the Monschau Castle.
