Schloss Lüftelberg, Medieval castle in Meckenheim, Germany.

The castle features four round towers, high double-pitched roofs, and an ornate portal integrated into its stone structure surrounded by a moat.

Built in 1280, Schloss Lüftelberg underwent major renovations in 1730 by court architect Johann Heinrich Roth, who incorporated three original towers into the new design.

The garden room displays extensive Grisaille paintings and functions as a ballroom, representing the artistic preferences of German nobility during the Baroque period.

The castle opens its doors for group visits and provides a location for civil wedding ceremonies, with advance reservations required for both activities.

The central hall combines elements from the garden into its interior decoration, featuring a collection of murals and detailed stucco work throughout the space.
