Gut Etgendorf, Architectural heritage monument in Kirchtroisdorf, Bedburg, Germany.

Gut Etgendorf is a moated, closed rectangular complex on open farmland between Bedburg and Kirchtroisdorf. Its two-storey brick manor house, built in 1605 for the Jülich councillor Peter Simonius, has a tall hipped roof and cross-frame windows with trachyte surrounds. A two-storey gatehouse with a round-arched passage and a Ritz/Dürffenthal alliance coat of arms stands to the west, and a three-storey rectangular tower with a stepped bell-shaped roof rises at the southeast corner.

Gut Etgendorf has belonged to the Premonstratensian monastery of Reichenstein near Kalterherberg since 1216. From the late 15th century it was granted as a hereditary lease, and from 1673 to 1862 it was held by the Simonius genannt Ritz family. The manor house was built in 1605 for the Jülich councillor Peter Simonius.

The estate's name recalls the Simonius genannt Ritz family, who held it in hereditary lease from 1673 to 1862. Their alliance coat of arms with the Dürffenthal family is set above the round-arched gate passage, and the manor house was built in 1605 for the Jülich councillor Peter Simonius.

Gut Etgendorf lies on open farmland between Bedburg and Kirchtroisdorf, southwest of Lipp. The manor house is not open to the public, so the complex is viewed from outside; the surrounding field tracks are the way to approach it.

The moat walls were built to hold the water in and keep the four-winged complex together, as historian Stephanie Wickerath notes. The manor house, dated 1605 for Jülich councillor Peter Simonius, carries cross-frame windows framed in trachyte, a volcanic stone not quarried locally.
