Schloss Monaise

Schloss Monaise is a castle with early classical architecture in Trier, featuring formal reception rooms on the first floor and servant quarters above. A grand terrace and ornate staircase define its appearance and offer views over the surrounding landscape.

François Ignace Mangin built the castle between 1779 and 1783 for Philipp Franz Wilderich Nepomuk von Walderdorf, a cathedral dean of Trier. Following extensive restoration work from 1992 to 1997, it was converted into a restaurant and remained under the city of Trier's ownership.

The name Schloss Monaise comes from the French phrase 'mon aise', expressing a philosophy of comfortable living. Visitors can see this spirit reflected in the elegant rooms today and experience the refined atmosphere while dining in the restaurant.

The castle functions as a restaurant today with restored interior spaces and welcomes diners. The spacious grounds with terrace and park area are easy to access and offer a pleasant place to spend time.

The garden contains a Monopteros and Gloriette, two classical structures rarely found together. The adjacent Hofgut property is now used as a riding facility by the Post Sports Club.
