One of the many castles in the Rhineland. The original castle dates from the twelfth century before it was converted into the present castle in the 17th century. If you take a break here, you should definitely eat an ice burger at Café Nelles across the street!

The Lords de Halechtre (Knights of Alfter) were first mentioned in 1117, and the Hereditary Marshal's Office of Kurköln was associated with Alfter Castle from 1188. The von Metternich family (with the lion's coat of arms) at the Moated Castle Metternich also emerged from the von Alfter knightly dynasty, and should not be confused with the more well-known von Metternich family (with the shell coat of arms), which is also based in Metternich.
