Schloss Eicherhof, Rococo castle in Leichlingen, Germany

Schloss Eicherhof is a two-storey manor house built in 1762/63 in the French style of the late 18th century, with a mansard roof and a roof turret. Two coach houses flank the forecourt, where a rose rondel enclosed by chains was laid out by Emma Schniewind née Wülfing, as was the former castle park.

Construction took place between 1762 and 1763 under Jacob Wilhelm Behagel Edler von Hack on family-inherited land. The estate was connected to the copper-hammer industry that produced materials for the Düsseldorf mint.

The name Eicherhof recalls the copper hammers that Wilhelm Hack ran here from 1715, making blanks for the Düsseldorf mint; the street Am Hammer keeps that memory. Today the house serves as business premises and a venue for conferences, weddings and other celebrations.

Schloss Eicherhof is now the business seat of several companies and is used for conferences, weddings and other celebrations, so the grounds are not open as a public museum. The two remises flank the forecourt, where a rose rondel enclosed by chains, laid out like the former park by Emma Schniewind, can be seen from outside. The neighbouring Villa Weyermann stands directly beside the estate.

The estate received Edward, Prince of Wales, in 1919 when owner Alice Boeddinghaus had made it a hub of social gatherings. This royal visit underscores the property's former standing as a meeting place for local dignitaries.
