Kommandeursburg Blatzheim, Teutonic Order castle in Kerpen, Germany.

The Kommandeursburg Blatzheim stands as a quadrangular brick structure with two corner towers topped by slate baroque spires near the Neffelbach stream.

Heinrich von Reuschenberg zu Setterich, a knight of the Teutonic Order, constructed this summer residence for the Komtur of the German Order in 1602.

The entrance gate displays the coat of arms of Heinrich von Reuschenberg with the inscription 'God alone the honor, Anno 1602' in German.

Located at coordinates 50°51′N and 6°38′E, the castle now functions as a private venue available for weddings and celebrations.

The last Teutonic Knight in Blatzheim, Joseph von Schaesberg, lived in this castle until his death in 1812 after French troops occupied the Rhine.
