The Bruch moated castle is a lavishly renovated castle complex. Individual tours are possible by prior arrangement. Inside the castle complex there is a beer garden with good opening times!

The earliest documented mention of Bruch Castle dates from 1138 (Fridelo von Bruch). The construction of the castle took place during the first half of the 13th century and was probably completed in 1243. In the following centuries, the rule was partly under Electoral Trier, partly under Luxembourg sovereignty, the castle was inherited after the von Bruch family had died out in different ministerial families. The almost rectangular complex of approx. 100 x 50 meters was originally surrounded by a wall and moat. Another ditch divided it into the higher core bailey with palace, keep and gate as well as the larger outer bailey with the outbuildings. Remarkable are the two relatively slim and high round towers, which were raised around 1340 - for the purpose of greater defensive capability of the castle on the border to the Duchy of Luxembourg. The tithe store of considerable length (43 m) dates from around 1650 and had a previous building. There are several sandstone barrel vaults above the ground floor of the current building. From 1995 to 2000 the castle was lovingly and extensively renovated. Individual guided tours are possible by prior telephone arrangement. Source: eifel.info/a-burg-bruch-in-brucheifel
