St. Matthias Cloister

Highlight • Religious Site

The renovation of the cloister of St. Matthias was completed in 2025. The cloister is open to visitors at certain times throughout the year, such as now on October 5th. The cloister is famous for its capitals with biblical depictions. There are also several writings and books on the subject.

The cloister of St. Matthias in Trier originated around 1200 in the early Gothic period and was probably created by the same Lorraine stonemasons as that of Trier Cathedral. After numerous reconstructions and destructions as a result of secularization, the cloister was not restored until after the Second World War. Starting in 1952, the Saarland sculptor Willi Hahn (1920–1995) created new capitals based on medieval models. Together with Father Maurus, he designed 38 capitals with foliage ornamentation and biblical, ecclesiastical, and contemporary historical scenes. Today, they bear witness to a vibrant connection between medieval tradition and modern religious art.

Imperial Baths, Trier

Highlight • Historical Site

The Imperial Baths are the monumental remains of a large-scale planned late antique Roman bath complex and later cavalry barracks, which have been preserved in the center of the Rhineland-Palatinate city of Trier. The structure, with its walls still standing up to 19 meters high in places, is one of the largest Roman baths north of the Alps and has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage site in Trier since 1986.

Irscher Burg

Highlight • Castle

The castle served as a provostry for the Trier monastery of St. Martin. The estate managers of the monastic economy, which was located in Irsch, lived here. The castle and its outbuildings were, as it were, the farmstead of the abbey located in the city.
