    It can be assumed that the von Blessem family owned the "castle", which is referred to in medieval and modern sources as the "Blessem court".

      Nice view right next to the Erft bike path. Today a private condominium: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Blessem

        Today, only the outer bailey and the manor house remain. You can drive through the archway and view the beautiful inner courtyard. Two riding stables with newly built stables and riding facilities operate on the castle grounds.
