The castle is very picturesquely situated on the outskirts of Wachendorf in the North Eifel. It was built at the end of the 18th century and is still surrounded by former fortifications and moats. A long chestnut avenue leads halfway around the village to the castle. The castle is privately owned. You can get married here at the registry office or rent it as an unusual wedding location.
