Hermit`s Cell near Kastel

High plateau above the Saar valley, used as a fortified place of refuge by the Celts. In the 16th century, a French Franciscan monk-priest settled there and carved a hermit's cell, the Klause, into the rock.

In 1838, the Prussian court architect Carl Friedrich Schinkel transformed a 17th century chapel next to the cell into the burial chapel of Blind King John of Bohemia.
