Ehreshoven Castle, Medieval castle in Engelskirchen, Germany
The moated castle consists of a three-winged manor house and a four-winged front structure, featuring light yellow exterior walls from a 1990 renovation.
First mentioned in records from 1355, the castle belonged to Siegburg Abbey before being transferred to the Count of Nesselrode family in 1396.
The castle maintains a French garden from the early 18th century in its northern section, incorporating the original medieval chapel into the present manor house.
Located 32 kilometers east of Cologne, the castle functions as a charitable foundation for canonesses since its conversion in 1924 by Rheinische Ritterschaft.
The castle interior contains sections of leather wallpaper, which represents a notable example of German Baroque ceiling decoration techniques.
