Kleinvernich & Großvernich Castles
Description
The two castles of Kleinvernich and Großvernich have guarded the eastern and western banks of the river Erft since 1350. The two-part Grossvernich Castle, known as a 'castrum' with a moat, was built after 1300 near the surrounding wall, which today is hardly discernible.
Kleinvernich Castle is still entirely surrounded by a moat today. However, the estate is used exclusively for agriculture. The only memorial to the late-gothic castle in Grossvernich is the ruin of a tower which is in danger of collapse.
