Gracht Castle, Renaissance castle in Erftstadt, Germany

The Wolff von Metternich family maintained ownership of Gracht Castle through several centuries, establishing its significance in North Rhine-Westphalia's aristocratic heritage.
The castle serves as a testament to German nobility residences, incorporating elements from different architectural periods into its current structural composition.
