Understand
After the withdrawal of Roman troops in the 5th century, the Roman settlement of Remacum turned gradually into Remich. It grew over time but got destroyed by Normans in 882. Fragments of the medieval fortifications, such as the Saint Nicolas gate, are still visible today. In 1687 most of the town's fortifications were demolished by the army of Louis XIV (of France). Various coats of arms and guild symbols can still be found on some houses in Remich.
