Half-timbered houses

The charming town of Monschau, located in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, is characterized by its half-timbered houses. Constructed with wooden frames, oak shingles and wattle and daub, these houses are some of the most traditional of this type of German architecture present in the region. Built with countless small windows and decorated with decorative details such as flowers and wooden sculptures, they create a fairy-tale atmosphere in this charming town- a perfect setting for a photographer. Take a leisurely stroll through the narrow cobblestone streets and explore the picturesque buildings. Visit the Marktplatz, the Square of Commerce and make sure to take a guided tour of the Red House, an 18th century building home to interesting local exhibitions.
