As noted in a previous blog, Hohe Domkirche Trier is part of Weinguter Bishcoflichen Trier, together with Bischöfliches Konvikt and Bischöfliches Priesterseminar. They were merged in 1966 to give Weinguter Bishcoflichen Trier. The Hohe Domkirche (Cathedral of Trier) estate is the most recently established of the three (in 1851) but the cathedral itself is the oldest church in Germany and the oldest cathedral north of the Alps being built in the 4th century. The cathedral has been closely associated with winemaking for a very long time, with documents dating back to the mid-13th century showing that staff were freed from religious duties for the grape harvest. The estate holds 22 ha of vineyard of which the most famous is the 6 ha of Scharzhofberg.
