Niederkastenholz Castle

Niederkastenholz castle is surrounded by a moat, with an angular main castle and a separate horse-shoe shaped fore-castle with working quarters. It used to belong to Kornelimünster Abbey. The rough stone buildings of the castle are complemented by the wrought-iron gate. The fortified tower dates back to the 12th century and is the oldest part of the castle.

The so-called Probstei was added onto the medieval main castle between 1752 and 1756. Part of the moat is still visible today, although most of it was filled in during the 19th century.
