Description
The hamlet of Weweler lies high up above the confluence of the Ulf and the Our. Archaeological finds indicate that there were already settlements here in Roman times. One is presumed to have been situated where the village now lies above the valley, whilst another was at the ford through the Our, which was in use for a long time down below Weweler. Weweler was mentioned in an official document for the first time as Wewilre in the year 1313.
In particular, the white tower of the St. Hubertus Chapel is clearly visible from a long way off and stands out in the lush green of the landscape. On account of its elevated position, the chapel was struck by lightning on several occasions and once caught fire. Looked at from close up, the 13th-century Romanesque tower stands out because of its seven-tiered baroque roof. The late Gothic nave and the choir originate from the 15th century. The stellar vault, supported only by a round centre column, is spectacular. This rare type of vaulted building, also known as a single-pillar church, can only be found in one other place in the region, Büllingen. The floor in the nave contains several tombstones and grave crosses of former parish priests of Weweler, Burg-Reuland and Thommen from the 16th and 17th centuries.
The cemetery at Weweler is worth a tour, and not only because of its historical graves; by its outer wall, visitors can obtain some impressive views out into the Our and Ulf valley and over the surrounding hills.
