Nestled in the narrow Rur Valley, Monschau is one of those towns where history is visible in every line of its facades. The winding old town, with its hundreds of historic buildings, gives the impression that time has moved more slowly here. Along the river, small squares open up where life unfolds at a leisurely pace. The Red House tells the story of the prosperity of former clothmakers’ families and illustrates how closely craftsmanship and urban development were intertwined. As you stroll through the narrow streets, a sense of comfort emerges, nourished by the architecture, landscape, and regional traditions. Monschau invites you to discover the Eifel in its most romantic form.
