Zülpich Castle, Lowland castle in Zülpich, Germany.
The castle features a rectangular layout with high corner towers and walls reaching three meters in thickness, surrounded by a twelve-meter-wide moat.
Built in the late 14th century by the archbishops of Cologne, the castle originated from a Roman fortification and served as an outpost against the County of Jülich.
The castle now houses the Zülpich History Society, which maintains records and artifacts documenting the regional development through different historical periods.
Visitors can access the tourist information center located within the castle grounds, which provides details about local attractions and historical sites.
From 1870 to 1980, the castle contained a schnaps distillery operated by the Sieger family, transforming the medieval structure into an industrial facility.
