Landesburg Lechenich
Landesburg Lechenich, Medieval castle ruin in Erftstadt, Germany
The castle features a tall brick structure with remaining fortified walls, towers, and a former residential wing in the northeastern corner of the old town.
Construction began in 1306 under Archbishop Heinrich von Virneburg after the previous castle on Erper Street was destroyed in 1301.
The castle served as a residence for distinguished guests including King Sigismund and Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy during the medieval period.
Visitors can explore the castle grounds and adjacent public park, which expanded from 4.2 to 7 hectares in 1998.
The structure stands as one of the earliest large-scale buildings in the Rhineland region constructed entirely using field-fired bricks.
