Burg Ringsheim

The castle complex includes a mansion with rubble stonework, surrounded by a water-filled moat and defensive outer structures from the 18th century.

First documented in 1249, the Lords of Ringsheim controlled this strategic property between Flamersheimer Bannwald and the Aachen-Frankfurt military road until 1455.

The property transformation from medieval fortress to aristocratic residence reflects the changing social structures of German nobility through architectural modifications.

Located east of Flamersheim district, this private residence remains inhabited and is not accessible for public visits or tours.

The castle grounds contain the ruins of a medieval village church, representing the last remnant of a disappeared settlement from the 17th century.
