Schweppenburg, Renaissance castle in Brohl-Lützing, Germany.

Schweppenburg Castle stands as a three-story Renaissance structure with two corner towers, curved gables, and plaster designs on its high base.

The castle, first documented in 1365, underwent substantial modifications between 1637 and 1639 under the direction of Bertram von Metternich.

Alexander Duncker's collection includes a lithograph by H. v. Dirks from 1852, depicting the castle during the Prussian Monarchy period.

The castle remains in private ownership, limiting visitor access to exterior views of the building and its Renaissance architecture.

The Geyr von Schweppenburg family acquired the castle through a purchase contract in 1716, adding their name to the property's legacy.
