Schloss Bollheim

The castle complex includes preserved agricultural buildings and guard houses arranged around an outer courtyard near the ancient Roman road from Reims to Cologne.

First documented in 1331, the castle belonged to Knight Godart von Bollheim before changing ownership to the von Vlatten family and later the von Hompesch dynasty.

The castle grounds transformed into a Demeter-certified organic farm in 1982 when Arnold Langen and local farmers purchased the remaining agricultural structures.

The remaining structures of Schloss Bollheim stand at coordinates 50.6979, 6.7117 on Bollheimer Strasse in the 53909 postal district of Zülpich-Oberelvenich.

The castle sustained damage during the Thirty Years War when French-allied Hessian and Weimar troops occupied the premises during the winter of 1641-1642.
