The Church Winery in Wolf

Treasury and cellar of the church winery in Wolf; since 2001 Markus Boor Organic Wines

Monks founded the church winery up on the Göckelsberg above Wolf back in 1478. Ten years later work began on the church cellars, designed to take 24 tun casks. The cellar is in the shape of an elongated barrel vault which mirrors the floor plan of the church above. A chapel to St. Servatius built on top of the cellar was dedicated in 1491.

Some 200 years later the foundation stone of the church we see today was laid. The building works took just six months to complete, after which the church "atop the cellar" was dedicated.

In 1782 a church treasury was constructed next to the church. The massive central pillar which supports the vault is an impressive feature of its square cellar.

During the nineteen seventies a connecting subterranean passage was constructed between the church and treasury cellars.
