The "Zell Schloss"

The "Zell  Schloss" (castle).
It is now a hotel and restaurant.

When we walked through the town Willemien noticed a sign "Synagogue" and we checked it out.

We got a very in depth explanation from an elderly gentleman about the history of the building and their inhabitants.

It is the only synagogue built onto a castle. It was very small, but much history.

Zell is built (like all towns on the Mosel) on the banks of the river. Where the town stops the vineyards start, as can be seen in this picture. 


Here a picture of the synagogue portion of the building.
