Schloss Kewenig, Manor house in Körperich, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany

Schloss Kewenig is a castle featuring raw stone walls and characteristic defensive structural elements in Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm. The complex consists of several building sections arranged around a central courtyard, forming a compact castle structure.

Kewenig first appears as "Chewingen" in a 1231 deed, when vassals of Theoderich von Malberg sold land to Echternach Abbey. In 1556 Friedrich von Herverdingen is recorded as owner; the estate then passed to the von Stein family for several centuries. In 1830 it was entered in the Ritterschaftsmatrikel as a landtag-capable knight's estate taxed at 72 talers, and around 1850 it stood empty and near decay.

The name Kewenig goes back to the village of "Chewingen", first recorded in 1231 in a deed by which Theoderich von Malberg's vassals sold land to Echternach Abbey. The house was long held by the von Stein family, and since 2012 the Weyrich family has restored it; Christmas markets and summer festivals are now held in the grounds.

The restored Schloss and parts of its outbuildings can be rented for events, and Christmas markets and summer festivals are held there. The core is a square water castle with corner towers, so expect a compact layout rather than long walks. The last owner of the Flamm family is buried in the cemetery at Kruchten, a short trip from Körperich.

The medieval core is a square water castle with four round corner towers and a 16th-century round-arch frieze; the crenellations and second upper floor were added only in the 19th century. Inside, a neo-Gothic stair hall survives, and a 1559 stone fireplace from Neuerburg Castle was installed in 1912, its painted double coat of arms now faded.
