Tips from the Community

Roland
December 31, 2025, Mehren Half-Timbered Village

The half-timbered village of Mehren is considered one of the most beautiful villages in the region. Several noteworthy half-timbered houses and other interesting buildings are clustered in the village center. The late Gothic parish church, built in the 12th century on the site of an earlier wooden structure, is one of the oldest village churches in the Westerwald region. A striking feature is the added half-timbered granary, which was constructed in 1744 to address problems with the original double-tiered roof. Above the church stands the old rectory from the 18th century, a half-timbered building with a hipped roof. Below the church, on Mehrbachstraße, is the "Ahl Schul," the old school. This late Gothic half-timbered house is architecturally outstanding. Opposite the church, at Kirchstraße 1, stands another remarkable half-timbered house: a 17th-century farmhouse built in the form of a transverse farmhouse. Its roof is thatched. More beautiful half-timbered houses and farmsteads can be found throughout the town.

You can really see a lot of old half-timbered houses here, as the entire town centre is a listed building

The half-timbered village of Mehren in the Westerwald region won a silver medal in the national competition "Our Village Should Be More Beautiful" in 1983 and 1989. The Protestant parish church was built around 1200 and is one of the oldest late Romanesque village churches in the Westerwald.

There are places to stop for refreshments in the Lanhaus Mehren (district of Adorf) and in the bakery of the Hommelshecke organic farm (Zur Heide 19, always self-service cold drinks).

Mehren has very beautiful half-timbered houses, some with thatched roofs. You should visit the Romanesque church of Mehren with a half-timbered extension, as it is not always open it is best to make an appointment. Also interesting is the Bullesje Mehren, a dungeon from 1547, now privately owned, the door is usually open, just take a look. Unfortunately there are no places to stop for refreshments in Mehren.
