The Laufenbach in Monschau

Highlight • River

The Laufenbach flows into the Rur in the old town of Monschau.
There are several mills and former cloth mills on the banks of the Laufenbach. The best-known buildings are the historic mustard mill from 1882, the representative residential building Haus Troistorff of the Troistorff cloth-making family and the Red House of the Scheibler family of cloth-makers.
Definitely worth seeing!

Red House, Monschau

Highlight • Historical Site

How the Red House got its name, can be easily recognized by the facade color. The former headquarters of the Scheibler entrepreneurial family is now accessible as a museum and presents the living culture of the bourgeoisie around the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries.
