    House Dieprahm

    The former knight's seat has been a listed building since 1982. The two-story brick house with the two defense towers was probably built on the site of a Franconian courtyard. The legend is told that Napoleon stayed in the smaller tower unrecognized as the 'Duke of Vincenza' on his flight from Russia. Since then this tower has been called the Napoleon Tower.

      I was born in 67 and grew up in the immediate vicinity of the castle. Until 1989, when I moved from Lintfort, and until the mid-90s, Dieprahm Castle was pretty neglected. In the meantime, every time I am here I am happy to see how beautiful it has been restored / renovated. A little gem on the Lower Rhine.

        "Dieprahm moated castle, which can be found in today's Gestfeld district of the town of Kamp-Lintfort, is located on a 3.95 hectare property and is located in the middle of a large, well-kept park area. The former noble seat is probably on the site of a farm The former hunting lodge was first mentioned in documents in 1369.

        Haus Dieprahm lies between many trees and is bordered by two high defense towers. Today it is surrounded by a moat with a small lake. The well-preserved brick building consists of a rectangular, two-storey structure and two corner towers.

        In the 14th century, a drawbridge led from the castle courtyard to the actual castle complex, where the brothers Johan and Evert lived in gene Dippramme, which is how the house got its name.

        To this day, there is a suspicion that Napoleon spent a day in the tower room on the ground floor of the Dieprahm house when fleeing to France after he had separated from his army in Russia. Disguised as the Duke of Vincenza, with only one companion, it is said that on a cold December day in 1812 he stopped in an open sleigh in the castle courtyard and decided to spend the night there. Since that day, this tower has been called "Napoleon's Tower".

        From 1934 to 1994 the Dieprahm house was owned by Montan GrundstĐ­cks GmbH and served as a residence for the employees of the Friedrich-Heinrich colliery.

        Ultimately, the Wustlich family acquired the Dieprahm moated castle in 1994. They carried out extensive restoration and refurbishment work according to the specifications of the Upper Monument Protection Authority, which took 10 years to complete. For example, the masonry was cleaned and the joints renewed. A coat of paint was also absolutely necessary. In addition, the former stock of trees was relocated to the rear area as a newly created forest, which has 6,000 square meters. More than 80,000 trees, shrubs, flowers and ornamental plants were planted.

        Even after a roof truss fire, triggered by a lightning strike during a heavy thunderstorm in 2012, the roof truss was repaired in line with the preservation order and the roof was re-covered with slate interlocking clay tiles. ..."
