Harff’sche Burg, Castle ruin in Nörvenich, Germany

The Harff'sche Burg features a rectangular brick construction measuring 22 by 11 meters with a round tower at its eastern corner.

Built in 1565 by Johann von Harff zu Geilenkirchen, the castle remained in family ownership until the 19th century when Count Wolff von Metternich acquired it.

The castle structure represents the architectural style of lowland fortifications common in the North Rhine-Westphalia region during the medieval period.

Located between Neffelbach and the cemetery on private property, visitors can only view the castle ruins from the outside without entering the grounds.

In 2018, the German federal government allocated 850,000 euros for the preservation of this historical structure, highlighting its architectural importance.
