Old Town Hall

There is the Moselkern town hall from 1535. It is the oldest town hall on the Moselle and is (again) used as a town hall. In its nearly five hundred year history it has also served as a school. In 1909 a small monastery with a day-care center was set up in the building, which lasted until 1969. Since 2002 the building has been used as the town hall again. A small curiosity is the metal ring embedded in the ground floor, to which criminals were tied and exposed to the ridicule of the villagers until the French Revolution.
