The ivy-filled tower is the only witness to the castle's medieval history. In 1939 Collart Castle became the property of the Sisters of St. Elizabeth who made it a rest home for the congregation.

    Wine Village Ahn

    Although Ahn marks one of the geographically smallest villages in the region, relatively most private wineries are located here. The charming cellars and cosy wine taverns of several private winegrowers can be found here in a very small area. Ahn is an authentic winegrowing village, famous for its gastronomic specialities, with idyllic alleys, beautiful old houses and vineyard covered hills.

    For all nature and vineyard lovers the dream loop "Wine & Culture Path Palmberg Ahn" should not be missed.
