The Kürenzer Schlösschen (little castle) is a former estate located in the historic center of Alt-Kürenz. The castle was built in 1810 by Alexandre François Bruneteau de Sainte Suzanne, Prefect of the Saar department, incorporating older structures. It is a cubic building with a hipped mansard roof. The prefect lived there until 1814. In 1887, a Neo-Renaissance tower was added. The complex also includes the landscaped garden with its mature trees, an orangery, a teahouse, and the preserved sections of the surrounding wall. In the mid-19th century, the prominent historian and architectural researcher Ferdinand de Roisin (1805–1876) was a resident, followed by a branch of the Luxembourg industrialist Servais family. From 1932 to 1950, Trier's gardening director, Gottfried Rettig (1902–1986), was one of the residents. The city acquired the property and its park in 1955 for 95,000 DM. In 1966, the left part of the palace and the equally dilapidated stables on the right side were demolished, accounting for two-thirds of the historic structure. The remaining third was transferred to private ownership in 1977. In 1995 and 2000, Axel Haas underwent extensive renovations and structural additions to the property, preserving the listed building. The Kürenz Palace Park surrounds the 1,715 m² property of the Kürenz Palace. The living and usable space is 550 m², of which the main building accounts for approximately 355 m².

Great building

Nice Place

The bike lane on the sidewalk

It's nice that the old route has been preserved thanks to the cycle path, and that the station is at least still in the right context.

You ride through nature on an idyllic path made of wooden planks. Since there are also a lot of hikers here, you have to adjust your speed accordingly.

In the mill shop in Sommerau you can find everything a baker's heart desires and delicious muesli!

Zurlauben is a cult. At least since a small fishing village was formed there in the 17th century. The origins of the inhabited waterfront promenade go back to the 7th century, when the St. Symphorian monastery was built here. It fell victim to the Norman storm in the 9th century. But the houses remained - and with them obviously garden houses or covered arcades, from which Zurlauben takes its name. Read more The many covered terraces still make up Zurlauben's charm today. Numerous restaurants have settled in the current buildings, most of which date back to the 18th century. Nowhere else in the city can you sit and enjoy yourself so relaxed in the immediate vicinity of the Moselle. The city has also recognized this. It took the urgently needed dyke renovation as an opportunity to decorate Zurlauben with a large open staircase and additional seating. We can therefore only warn you: plan a little more time than originally planned. Because you can't just feel the cult as you walk past. A must for: sun worshippers and connoisseurs. Moselle observers. Walkers, joggers, cyclists and strollers. Relaxing: 50% Flair: 50% Hectic: 0% PSSSST! THE SECRET TIP: The Moselle ships also depart from Zurlauben, inviting you to take one or two-hour tours or taking you on half-day and day tours to Bernkastel-Kues or Saarburg. There are special trips several times a year, for example on the occasion of the Moselle Festival in Zurlauben in July or on New Year's Eve.
