Evangelical Church, Veldenz
Highlight • Religious Site
The Trier cathedral master builder Wirz drew up the plan for the neo-Gothic building with a star-shaped interior. In 1988 the church received an organ from the
famous workshop of the Stumm Brothers. Worship takes place on Sundays at 9:30 a.m. or 10:30 a.m.

Veldenz
Highlight • Settlement
The history of the "Villa Romana" goes back to Celtic-Roman origins. In the basement of the villa there are still large parts of a well-preserved Roman bath. Today the building houses a museum with a large coin collection and changing exhibitions.

Veldenz Castle
Highlight • Castle
The former Count's Castle Veldenz was the largest castle on the Middle Moselle until it was destroyed in 1681 by the troops of the French King Louis XIV. The castle was probably built before 1130 by a knight named Emicho, from the Nahegau count family, and his son Gerlach, who also called himself "Count of Veldenz" from 1130. The castle itself was first mentioned in a document from 1156: Friedrich Barbarossa confirms here Bishop Albert I of Verdun the ownership of Veldenz Castle with a bailiwick and ban.The castle ruins were sold in 1807 as part of the French national property auction to a merchant Nießen from Mülheim, who then also protected the ruins from further decay and exploitation as a quarry The castle ruins later became the property of the Richter family, a winery from Mülheim. In 1896, they had the walls of the main building covered by a roof truss. Today the castle is owned by the Haufs-Brusberg family, who have carried out further extensive security measures in recent years. The knight's hall is renovated and historically furnished. Castle festivals are celebrated here and historical tours are organized at the castle. Source: text information board
