Schweppenburg, Renaissance castle in Brohl-Lützing, Germany.
Schweppenburg is a three-story Renaissance castle in Brohl-Lützing with two corner towers, curved gables, and plaster ornaments on a raised base. The facade displays typical 17th century Renaissance architectural features with elaborate decorative details.
The castle was first documented in 1365 and gained its current Renaissance appearance through major renovations between 1637 and 1639 under Bertram von Metternich. These changes shaped the property's architectural identity for centuries to come.
The Geyr von Schweppenburg family shaped the estate across generations and left marks on regional noble history. Today these connections still show in the property's details and its place in local memory.
The castle remains in private ownership, so visits are limited to viewing the exterior. From the street you can see the Renaissance features and distinctive towers clearly.
A lithograph from 1852 in Alexander Duncker's collection shows the castle during the Prussian Monarchy period and documents its historical appearance. This artwork provides a rare glimpse into the property before modern times.
