THE TRIER ROUND - STOP BY STOP

HOLE 1 - PAR 3

Porta Nigra

Look at the massive stones of the Porta Nigra, a city gate located in Trier. Built in the style of ancient Roman architecture, the structure began its inception in 180. It is a cultural heritage monument in Rhineland-Palatinate and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For those visiting the city, it is a prime example of Hellenistic military architecture of the time. I've found that the sheer scale of the walls makes you feel quite small, even for a bird. It is one of the most imposing remnants of the Roman era you can find in the region, and the way the stone has weathered over the centuries gives it a character that you can really feel when you stand beneath the arches. It is a great place to pause and admire the craftsmanship of the past before moving on.

Ehemalige Abtei Sankt Maximin

Let me show you the Ehemalige Abtei Sankt Maximin. This site is built in the Gothic architecture style, which you can pick out in the structural details of the buildings. It is a benedictine abbey and is officially recognized as a Kulturdenkmal. In terms of its purpose, this location in Trier, Germany, was a Benedictine monastery. I find the scale of these old stone walls quite impressive when you are walking right beside them. When you look at the facade, you can see how the Gothic elements define the visual character of the place. It remains one of the most distinct examples of its kind in the city, providing a glimpse into the monastic life that once defined this area of Germany. I always enjoy seeing how the light hits the masonry during a midday stroll through the neighborhood.

Dom St. Peter zu Trier

You will first notice the Romanesque architecture of Dom St. Peter zu Trier. This Catholic cathedral is a Kulturdenkmal and part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site, having been listed as such in 1986. Nikolaus Rosiny was the architect of the building, which had its inception in 1235. It is a site of significant age and history, holding the distinction of being the oldest cathedral in Germany. While the overall style reflects its later development, the central part of the nave was built of Roman brick in the early fourth century. This mixture of eras makes the church building a unique point of interest for anyone visiting the city. The combination of Roman materials and medieval design provides a clear look at the layers of construction that define the site.

Rheinisches Landesmuseum

The Rheinisches Landesmuseum is an archaeological museum in Trier, Germany. It is a place where you can see how the region evolved, as the collection stretches from prehistory through the Roman period, the Middle Ages, and the Baroque era.

If you enjoy art, you can pick out the local Roman sculptures, frescos, and mosaics, which are among the best in Germany. It is a great spot to get your bearings on the city's ancient roots before heading back out into the streets.

Römerbrücke

The Römerbrücke is a stone road bridge in Trier, Germany, spanning the Moselle. It is an ancient structure that has seen several iterations over the centuries. While the nine bridge pillars date from the 2nd century AD, the upper part of the bridge was renewed in the early 12th century and again in the early 18th century. Long before this stone version, two older wooden bridges were in place as far back as 17 BC. Because of its historical significance, the bridge was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1986. I've found that the view of the river from the spans is one of the best in the city.
