Schloss Hagerhof

Schloss Hagerhof is a Gothic Revival castle in Bad Honnef that now serves as a gymnasium and boarding school. The building sits within a large campus that includes classrooms, dormitories, a sports field, pond, and wooded areas.

The estate was first documented in 1635 and belonged to the von der Lippe family. In the 19th century, architect Edwin Oppler redesigned it, giving the building its current Gothic Revival appearance.

The school applies Maria Montessori principles that encourage self-responsibility and personal growth. Sports, music, and creative work are woven into daily learning.

The campus can be reached via S-Bahn line 66 to Bad Honnef station and has convenient highway access. Keep in mind this is an active school campus, so visitor access may be restricted.

This is Germany's only boarding gymnasium that implements Montessori teaching methods and educates roughly 580 students. About 100 of them live on campus, experiencing a school day where historic architecture meets modern educational approaches.
