Schlass Turelbaach

Schlass Turelbaach is a 20th century castle in Mertzig featuring classical design elements such as stone walls, colored glass windows, and extensive gardens. The structure sits within the Guttland region and is maintained by the local municipality.

An initial wooden structure was built in 1964 but was completely destroyed in a fire in 1973. The current stone castle was then constructed on the same site.

The castle shows a personal interpretation of medieval building traditions through handcrafted details created over many years. The design reflects the care of a single builder who brought his own understanding of architecture into every stone.

Visitors can view the exterior and grounds while the interior remains closed to the public. It is worth visiting on clear days to fully enjoy the gardens and the building's appearance.

The building was constructed by just one person who was self-taught and had no professional training in construction. This remarkable solo effort spanning several decades remains the most striking feature of the site.
