Burg Kendenich

Burg Kendenich is a medieval castle featuring a three-winged front section with corner towers and a square manor house surrounded by water-filled moats. The structure sits on the eastern slope of the Ville region, overlooking the surrounding landscape.

Before the medieval castle was built, a Roman villa rustica stood at this location, as revealed by archaeological investigations. The fortress itself developed over centuries into the structure visible today.

The castle grounds include a park with old trees that provides nesting opportunities for cavity-breeding birds and bats.

The castle remains privately owned and functions as a residence following extensive renovations in the 1980s. Visitors should note that access is limited and the property is best viewed from the exterior.

The park grounds feature old trees that provide nesting sites for cavity-breeding birds and bats. This makes the castle an important habitat for these species in the region.
