Discover Serrig: Romans, the Saar and the farm estate

A Roman tomb, a Romanesque church tower and a lock on the Saar: Serrig combines historic sights with a farm visit experience at Serrig farm estate. This lets you tailor your trip to different interests—from architectural history to farm animals and a walk past fields and stables. For practical planning, the railway station is also part of the picture. The wider Trier-Saarburg destination offers further, distinct excursion options.

Sights and farm estate in Serrig

Serrig’s sights include the Romanesque chancel tower of the former Catholic parish church of St Martin, the Roman Widdertshäuschen tomb and the Heiligenborn Chapel. The Saar lock is another attraction, while Saarfels Castle and Saarstein Castle stand on higher ground. The Roman tomb and Romanesque architecture provide contrasting historical highlights. Together with the chapel, lock and castles, they offer a varied selection if you want to explore Serrig primarily through its sights.

Serrig farm estate offers a farm visit experience featuring farm animals, a historic field railway, a wild horse and cattle project for species conservation, and information boards. A walking path open year-round runs past fields and stables. The site is certified as accessible for visitors with reduced mobility. Here, the focus is on animals, farming and the walking path—a different emphasis from the buildings and historic sites. Before your visit, check the opening arrangements and individual visitor services again.

Another historical facet of the wider Trier-Saarburg destination is the Roman roadside settlement of Tabernae in Tawern. Considered the origin of the village, it was established shortly before the turn of the era on the Roman main road from the Moselle via Metz to Rome. The pavilion houses an authentic model of the roadside settlement at a scale of 1:75; the large reconstructed temple complex of Tawern also stands in the forest. The free ARGO app lets you view the temple complex on site at its actual size and as a 360-degree augmented reality display.
