Schloss Gelsdorf

Schloss Gelsdorf stands as a small manor house at the foot of the Eifel region, featuring architectural elements from the 18th century and restored residential units.

Constantin von Gruben, a state secretary, acquired the property in 1763 and transformed the medieval castle into a residential palace through extensive construction works.

The château serves as a representation of German architectural evolution, displaying the transition from medieval fortification to refined residential structures over centuries.

The castle remains in private ownership, requiring advance arrangements through the website http://www.schloss-gelsdorf.de for potential visits or tours.

A devastating fire in 1979 reduced the structure to its foundation, leading to a complete restoration that created the current form by 1985.
