Burg Morenhoven

The castle consists of a main building and outer bailey surrounded by wide ponds fed by the Mühlenbach stream flowing into the Swist river.

The Gothic gate tower dates from the late 15th century, while the current baroque mansion was constructed in 1682 following destruction during the Thirty Years' War.

The interior displays valuable wallpapers, stucco work, historical portraits of former residents, and period furniture within its bright ceremonial rooms.

The castle remains under private ownership by the von Jordans family, who make spaces available for weddings, corporate events, and family celebrations.

A stone bridge leads to the outer courtyard over the moat, with the square medieval gate tower featuring a distinctive baroque bulbous roof covered in slate.
