Burg Bodendorf, Medieval castle in Bad Bodendorf, Germany

Burg Bodendorf is a medieval castle in Bad Bodendorf featuring a two-story manor house with seven axes, a slate-covered hipped roof, and windows framed in basalt stone. The structure combines classical castle-building features with carefully executed details at the roof and window frames.

The castle originated in the early 13th century and served as the ancestral seat of the Bodendorf family, with first written records appearing in 1227. This long connection between the building and family shaped its history throughout.

The castle displays water castle features with visible remnants of former moats surrounding the structure. These elements continue to shape how visitors experience and perceive the place today.

The castle sits in Bad Bodendorf near the intersection of Bahnhofstrasse and the main road through town. It is easily accessible on foot and lies close to the town center.

A south-side gate was purposefully built in 1880 when the Ahr Valley railway began operations. This shows how the structure adapted to new forms of transportation.
