The city
Bernkastel-Kues are two towns joined by a bridge over the Mosela. In Bernkastel, on the right bank, the market square brings together half-timbered houses, the Renaissance town hall of 1608 and the narrow Spitzhäuschen, dating from 1416; atop the hill lies the ruin of Burg Landshut. In Kues, on the left bank, is the St.-Nikolaus-Hospital, founded by Nicolau de Cusa. The Riesling from the slopes, like that of the Doctor vineyard, is part of the town's identity.

The local experience
Medieval square of Bernkastel, surrounded by half-timbered houses from the 16th and 17th centuries, with the Renaissance town hall of 1608, Saint Michael's fountain of 1606 and, on the corner, the narrow Spitzhäuschen dating from 1416.
Castle ruin atop the hill above Bernkastel, former summer residence of the archbishops of Trier, destroyed by a fire in 1692. The tower and terrace are viewpoints over the Mosela bend.
Gothic hospice founded in 1458 by the cardinal and philosopher Nicolau de Cusa, born in Kues. It has a cloister, a chapel containing the founder's heart and a library of medieval manuscripts, and it still functions as a home for the elderly.
