Architecture comes from the Latin word "architectura" (art of building) and refers to man's technical and aesthetic engagement with built space. The essential contents are the planned design, shaping and construction of buildings. The Roman and Greek origins of the word itself show that this discipline is not a new subject, but has very old roots in human history and has never lost its importance since then. This also becomes clear during a visit to the holiday region of Bernkastel-Kues. For here, completely different architectural streams from different eras impressively demonstrate the structures between man and the built space. Witnesses of the times such as historic Roman citadels, magnificent churches, imposing castles and palaces as well as ornate half-timbered ensembles are just a few of the architectural highlights worth seeing in the Bernkastel-Kues holiday region. Get to know them all below.
