Château de Kambach

The main castle structure stands on an island surrounded by a wide moat, featuring a rectangular building with two stories and a steep-roofed tower.

First documented in 1463 as a fiefdom of the Eschweiler Dompropstei, the castle underwent major transformations in 1701 under Johann Bernhard von Cotzhausen's ownership.

The castle's architecture combines medieval defensive elements with baroque design, reflecting the evolution of German fortified residences through different periods.

The castle now functions as a restaurant and golf club facility, with the surrounding grounds transformed into a golf course that opened in 1992.

The southeast corner tower features an octagonal cap with a lantern and weathervane, while two baroque vases depicting Perseus stories remain in the western garden.
