Tips from the Community
In the long-gone days of our grandparents, a central bakehouse was common for the village community. In many places, these were eventually demolished. Here in Bolsdorf, however, it has been preserved and still bears witness to the old days.

A real gem awaits hikers and walkers along the Ahr: the chapel dedicated to Saint Hubertus - known above all as the patron saint of hunters - cannot be entered by visitors, but the openings to the right and left of the door, protected by sturdy grilles, offer a glimpse that should not be missed! The central ceiling fresco depicts the Lamb of God from the Apocalypse, lying on the book with the seven seals that John describes in his "Revelation" (the last book of the New Testament).

The building, the "Old Forge", now serves as a village community center and event location. But as the name suggests, the 19th century building was once used to practice a very old craft that was an essential part of any village at the time. As the craft lost more and more importance in the 20th century, the craft was abandoned and the old building became vacant. In the 1980s, the property was purchased by the town of Hillesheim and extensively renovated in 1981. Since then, it has served as the center of the village for the residents of Bolsdorf.
