Holzweiler: Vacation Apartments and Holiday Homes
The search for a vacation apartment to rent leads to Holzweiler, an area described as a significant cultural landscape in the open Rhenish loess basin along the Holzweiler Stream. The area combines a historic village center, the market square, and the church with brick farm complexes, houses from the 18th and 19th centuries, and field monuments. It also includes the surrounding agricultural land with historic farmsteads and some surviving historic paths.
Culture
The protected St. Cosmas and Damian Church is a three-aisled Neo-Gothic brick basilica built between 1857 and 1859. Its tower dates from 1914 to 1923; remains of earlier furnishings and gravestones from the former cemetery are documented around the church. A cultural-history walk can include the church and the market area, the former school, the former chapel of the inn, brick farm complexes, wayside shrines, memorial crosses, and historic Stations of the Cross.
Holzweiler is locally known as the “Ropemakers’ Village” because several ropemaking workshops operated there and many residents used to make ropes. The village also includes the documented farmsteads of Roitzerhof, Eggerather Hof, and Weyerhof.
