Cochem

Cochem is located about 40 km south-west of Koblenz, between the Eifel and Hunsrück mountains, in the heart of the Mosel-Saar-Ruwer wine region. In this romantic village of 5000 inhabitants, on the banks of a meander of the superb Moselle valley, you will feel like you are living in a fairy tale.

With half-timbered houses, narrow and winding streets and its beautiful promenade on the banks of the Moselle, where you can taste the wines of the region, it owes its charm to the traces left by the Middle Ages. From the market square, made up of narrow angular stairs, you find yourself at the Capuchin convent built on a ledge of a mountain dominated by 1630. The castle of Chochem, which is not only well preserved from the outside, reveals the treasures of its history inside. This fortress is a popular attraction for tourists, but also a testament to the history of the region and the city. It was in 1000 that the site was built during the reign of Count Ezzo Palatine. After the count lost his rank, King Konrad III used it as a military base in 1151. It was destroyed in 1689 by a fire during a battle against the French, for the conquest of the Moselle and left in ruins. In 1868 it was bought by Louis Ravene and finally in 1978 the city took possession of it, creating the SARL Reichburg Cochem cultural and tourist site. The most popular attraction of the fortress is the visit to its particular places, of course, in addition to its restaurant which offers a refined and highly appreciated cuisine. The entertainment in medieval attire with combat weapons are very popular with the public, some of which are used every year. After crossing the fairy-tale castle of Reichburg, you can visit the town hall and then pass through the city gate of Balduinstor and finally the Church of San Martino, a masterpiece of Gothic architecture, accompanied or followed by a walk on the banks of the Moselle.
