Bischofstein Castle: History and Visits

Bischofstein Castle was built in the second half of the 12th century. After being destroyed at the end of the 17th century, it was rebuilt between 1930 and 1933. This chronological connection makes the castle a place where its medieval origins and later restoration can be viewed together. Visits are possible by prior appointment. Take this into account when planning your day if the castle is to be the focus of your visit.

Chapel in the Town Center and Views from the Küppchen

The chapel in the town center is also one of Lasserg’s points of interest. It is dedicated to Saint Benedict and is well worth a visit. The so-called “Küppchen” offers a different perspective on the surrounding area: from there, you can enjoy views of Bischofstein Castle and the Moselle Valley. This gives your travel planning a combination of a historic building, a religious site and a viewpoint. You can explore these themes individually or regard them as different focuses of your stay, without committing the day to a single experience.

Route 2 and the Laysteig Dream Trail

Anyone who would like to get to know Lasserg on a longer tour will find another option in Route 2. The approximately 35-kilometer Route 2 passes through Lasserg and leads to the Lasserger Küppchen viewpoint. The approximate route length is important for planning if you would like to include a more extensive tour in your stay. The Laysteig Dream Trail offers a different perspective: from Lasserg, you can hike to Bischofstein Castle along this trail. The path down into the valley offers attentive hikers one or two surprises.

Which Holiday Apartment Suits Your Travel Plans

When looking for accommodation in Lasserg, it is worth first deciding on your preferred daily rhythm. If you would like to visit the castle, factor in making an appointment in advance. If you want to focus on activity and scenery, the approximately 35 kilometers of Route 2 or the Laysteig Dream Trail may guide your planning. For a more culture-oriented stay, you can plan the castle and the chapel dedicated to Saint Benedict as different destinations to visit. The view from the Küppchen adds a viewpoint overlooking Bischofstein Castle and the Moselle Valley to this selection.
