Burg Seffent, Medieval castle in Seffent district, Aachen, Germany
The four-wing castle structure features sandstone walls, a conical-roofed round tower at the north corner, and a defensive tower at the east corner.
First documented in 896 as Seffenter Hof, the property was gifted by Duke Zwentibold of Lotharingia to his cousin Abbess Gisela of Nivelles Abbey.
The castle underwent multiple architectural transformations from its origins as a Carolingian supply estate to its development as a fortified residence in the 1600s.
Following extensive renovations completed in 1985, the castle now contains fourteen residential apartments and operates a restaurant within its historic walls.
Three original fireplaces remain inside the castle, while the building materials date primarily from the Thirty Years War period and the 18th century.
