Guided Story

Imagine standing here, surrounded by the echoes of a bygone era. These ruins were once home to noble families, where tales of power and prestige were born. Look at the old stones; they have witnessed centuries of history. Did you know that Countess Alveradis of Molbach gifted this estate to the Cistercian Abbey of Heisterbach in the early 1200s? It's said monks would visit often, perhaps drawn by the serenity of the surrounding landscape. Now turn slightly southeast, about 261 meters away, lies the site of the famous Oberkassel double grave. This place truly breathes history. Close your eyes for a moment and you might just hear the faint echoes of medieval celebrations.
