Of Traben’s sinuous art-nouveau villas , the most seductive – and the only one open to the public – is the riverfront Hotel Bellevue, built in 1903 and easily recognised by its Champagne-bottle- shaped slate turret. The oak staircase in the lobby and the restaurant's stained-glass windows are deliciously sinuous examples of the style, brought to town by Berlin architect Bruno Möhring. Hotel reception sells an illustrated brochure about local Jugendstil buildings (€3). Historic flood crests are marked on the wall near the entrance.
Möhring also designed the medieval-style Brückentor (1898) above the bridge on the Trarbach side.
