Show more opening hours

The only church in the Diocese of Trier under the patronage of Saint Cäcilia was designed in the classic Main Franconian Baroque style by the famous Balthasar Neumann.
The client was Karl Kasper Graf von der Leyen, who lives in Saffig.
It was completed in 1742.
Inside the church there are splendid carvings and furnishings from the era.
The baptismal font made from local basaltic lava bears the year 1703 in the base and comes from the previous church. Further information on the history of the Baroque Church of St. Cäcilia is available on the parish website.

ehem. Stiftsmühle und Franzosenstein am Florinshof

The former Florinshof mill, also known as the “Stiftsmühle” or “der Herren Mühle”, belonged to the formerly independent St. Florin monastery in Koblenz. The Franzosenstein, also known as the Napoleonstein, was originally erected in 1812 on a small plot of woodland in the Fuchshöle district. Dear people interested in local history, You would like to find out more about this place - where the former Florinshof mill stood - and the unique obelisk. We are happy to provide you with some further information below.

Lava-Dome - Deutsches Vulkanmuseum

The Lava Dome is a very special museum in the Volcano Park in the East Eifel. On 700 square metres it is not "museum-like", but spectacular - for children and adults, for absolute newcomers and for those who are pre-informed about volcanism. In the "Land of Volcanoes", a multimedia show tells the story of two violent volcanic eruptions. Images, sounds and projections let you relive them - up close and intense, but fortunately virtual. The "volcano workshop" is a genuine small science centre. At experimental stations, visitors gain a vivid impression of the processes inside the earth. The "Time of the Volcanoes" lets stones speak: Anyone who touches them can hear and see the great eruptions of times gone by. Current seismological data and images from webcams around the world are particularly exciting. And in the round cinema, a fictitious news programme takes your breath away, because here it becomes clear what another eruption of the Laacher See volcano would mean.

Tuffsteinzentrum Weibern

If you would like to learn more about tuff, you can find out more about this rock and its possible uses here in the "Weiberner Schaufenster" on the left. The path up to the right also takes you in just a few minutes to the open-air exhibition at the stone saw house, where, among other things, a stone saw and a crane clearly illustrate the work processes involved in the tuff stone. The tourist information offers regular guided tours to the impressive Weiberner tuff quarries and - like the local stone cutters' association - organizes hands-on stone hammering courses, in which individual works of art are created from volcanic rock.
