Schloss Burgbrohl, Medieval castle in Burgbrohl, Germany
Schloss Burgbrohl is a castle complex with defensive towers, gates, and passages situated on a hilltop in the Eifel region. The structure was reconstructed after damage and features a residential building from the 17th century.
The castle was first recorded in writing in 1093 when a regional ruler held the property. After French troops destroyed it in 1689, the structure was rebuilt between 1709 and 1710.
The castle displays furnishings and artwork collected by noble families over many generations within its rooms. These items reflect how residents of different eras lived and what they valued.
Visitors should arrange tours in advance since the castle is only accessible by reservation. The site can be reached via the Förstersteig walking trail, which is roughly 10 miles long, starting from Mayen-Kürrenberg.
In the early 1800s, Ferdinand von Bourscheid reinforced the castle's rock foundation with supporting walls. This work later made it possible to create landscaped gardens and park areas on the grounds.
