Zülpich Castle, Lowland castle in Zülpich, Germany.
Zülpich Castle is a lowland castle in the town of the same name, featuring a rectangular floor plan with prominent corner towers. The walls reach 3 meters (10 feet) in thickness and are surrounded by an approximately 12-meter (40-foot) wide moat.
The castle was built in the late 14th century by the archbishops of Cologne, developing from an earlier Roman fortification. It served as a strategic outpost against the County of Jülich.
The castle now hosts the Zülpich History Society, which preserves collections documenting the region's past. Visitors can explore how local people have lived alongside this structure through different eras.
The castle grounds house a tourist information center that provides details about local history and regional attractions. This location serves as a good starting point for learning about the town and its surroundings.
From 1870 to 1980, the castle housed a distillery operated by the Sieger family, transforming the medieval structure into a production facility. The marks of this industrial use remain visible today.
