Katzensteine Sandstone Rock Formation

Highlight • Natural Monument

The cat stones are very impressive. People have already camped here in the Stone Age, the Romans used the stones as a quarry and you can also discover the stones for yourself.

The Scheidtweiler couple, who run a farmstead in Wachendorf, commissioned the renowned Swiss architect Peter Zumthor to build the chapel. Mr. Scheidtweiler had written to the architect, describing his plan out of gratitude for a fulfilled life. He then agreed to it. The building was constructed on scaffolding made of wooden planks, similar to a tipi, using rammed earth. After the construction was completed, the wooden scaffolding was burned from the inside. This created the unique shape of the ceiling, and for the first few years, the smell of burnt wood was always present. The opening hours are from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM during daylight saving time and from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM during standard time.
