In the 19th century, the townscape of Sankt Vith was still dominated by slate-clad half-timbered buildings. These were largely destroyed in 1944 in an allied air raid. The historical tour 'Sankt Vith before 1945' provides a vivid insight into the historical townscape at 14 locations. Numerous black-and-white photos with explanations in four languages document the charm of the town prior to its destruction. The perspectives of the picture panels are chosen in such a way that they correspond approximately to the viewer's current position.
