Schloss Vettelhoven, Renaissance Revival castle in Vettelhoven, Germany.

Schloss Vettelhoven is a castle featuring Renaissance Revival architecture with symmetrical facades, ornate decorative details, and a spacious park surrounded by mature trees. The building displays classical elements of this style including columns, bay windows, and roof structures that give the residence an imposing presence.

The castle was built in the 1890s and represents the era's enthusiasm for reviving historical architectural styles. The Renaissance Revival movement reflected late 19th-century interest in classical European design traditions.

The name Vettelhoven goes back to the Frankish noble Watilo, who gave court and village their name. A knight Dietrich von Vettelhoven is first mentioned in 1248, and Richard von Vettelhoven appears in a document in 1254. From 1430 to 1784 the von Kolff family held the estate, and in 1551 Lothar von Metternich, later Elector and Archbishop of Trier, was born here.

Schloss Vettelhoven stands in the village of Vettelhoven in the Ahrweiler district, not in Bonn. The 1890 building is surrounded by a park with a pond and a stream, and the estate once covered 350 hectares. The castle itself is a private residence, so the grounds and interiors are not open to visitors.

The estate around the castle covered 350 hectares, and for a time Schloss Vettelhoven held the status of a family fideicommissum, an entailed estate passed down within one family. The building was a wedding gift: industrialist Julius von Bemberg-Flamersheim gave it to his daughter Anna Charlotte on her 1887 marriage to the jurist Guido de Weerth, later Guido de Weerth von Vettelhoven.
