Mettlach is a small town on the river Saar famous for the Saar Bow and the ceramics produced by the internationally acclaimed company, Villeroy & Boch. More recently, the town has also made a name for itself as the location of factory outlets such as that of the clothing mail order firm, Lands End.

Culture in ceramics - outlet shopping
A visit to the famous ceramics manufacturer, Villeroy & Boch, in Mettlach is an exciting journey of discovery into culture and shopping, with the Keravision exhibition, the film "250 years of Villeroy & Boch" featuring Sir Peter Ustinov, and the Ceramics Museum. There are also a number of factory outlets in the pedestrian area, such as that of the mail order company, Lands End.

A trip to Mettlach is like stepping back in time. The Old Tower dates back to the end of the 10th century. You can learn more about the life of medieval monks and knights at Montclair Castle. Mettlach also has plenty of baroque and modern influences.
