Mettlach

Mettlach is best known within Saarland for the long-established Villeroy & Boch ceramics brand, whose headquarters occupy the former Benedictine abbey. The town lies on the Saar River, close to the Saarschleife, where the river makes its celebrated looping bend through wooded slopes. In the centre, the 10th-century Alter Turm survives from the abbey and ranks among Saarland’s oldest sacred buildings. Villeroy & Boch’s design and tableware tradition remains central to Mettlach’s identity, while the riverside setting connects the town to hiking routes across the Saar-Hunsrück region.
