Burg Röthgen, Medieval castle in Eschweiler, Germany
The castle features a two-winged main structure separated from a three-winged outer bailey by a moat with remnants of brick fortifications.
Edmund von Röthgen first documented the castle in 1348, establishing it as a strategic fortification to protect Jülich holdings in the forest region.
The castle preserves Gothic architectural elements in its core structure, displaying the medieval building techniques through its rubble stone construction.
The outer bailey section contains an active riding school, while the main castle area serves as private residential quarters.
Archaeological studies disproved local theories about an underground passage connecting Burg Röthgen to Nothberger Burg due to geographical limitations.
