also known as Pippins Hof, is a former moated castle and today's mansion on the Peppenhoven residential area in the city of Rheinbach between Swisttal and Morenhoven in the Rhein-Sieg district in North Rhine-Westphalia. The moated castle is one of the oldest buildings in the Voreifel. The castle is not open to the public.
The castle complex was formerly one of the house estates of the King of Franconia Pippin and was transferred to the Prüm Abbey.

Another small dreamy moated castle that is almost unknown. Not to compare with the magnificent castles such. in Miel, but still nice to see how many buildings there are in this area from the Baroque period.

The castle complex formerly belonged to the property of the Frankish King Pippin and was transferred from him to the Prüm Abbey.

The history of the castle counts many owners, for example in the 14th century Count Wilhelm von Neuenahr was a feudal lord, in 1569 Johann Kessel von Nürburg was enfeoffed with the property by Duke Wilhelm von Jülich and in 1627 the von Schall family came to Schwadorf through marriage the possession. (Johann Heinrich Schall von Bell was married to Agnes Kessel von Nürburg)
