Schloss Vischel, Cultural heritage château in Berg, Germany.

Schloss Vischel is a moated castle above the Vischelbachtal valley between Berg and the Altenahr district of Kreuzberg. The present building was erected around 1829, possibly on the old foundations, and is privately owned and protected as a monument. Its manor house has five axes with a central risalit facing the courtyard, and three coats of arms are mounted on the facade.

The site traces its origins to the 9th century when a water castle stood here and appeared in the 893 Prummer property records under the name Wizssele. Over time, the structure developed under the influence of different noble families into the castle that stands today.

The facade displays three family crests that mark the influence of the de Maistre, Gymnich, and Wolff-Metternich families who shaped the castle over time. Visitors can observe these coats of arms and understand how different ruling houses left their mark on the building.

The building can be viewed from the exterior where the renovated facade maintains original architectural details. Visitors should expect uneven terrain around the former moat area and allow time to walk around the entire grounds.

The moat has been waterless since the early 20th century and is now overgrown with dense vegetation. Three coats of arms are mounted on the castle facade: those of the de Maistre and von Gymnich families and of the House of Wolff-Metternich. The estate has been inhabited by the Holzschuher von Harrlach family, an old Nuremberg patrician line, since 1968.
