Berg Castle

Berg Castle, built on a hill above the town of Nennig, consists of 2 castles: the lower and the upper castle. These are 2 connected water castles, the history of which goes back to the 12th century. The lower castle is privately owned, the upper castle - converted into a Renaissance castle in later centuries - houses a hotel, a restaurant and a modern casino. Berg Castle can only be viewed from the outside. Source: Text information board

Berg Castle

The original building was probably built in the 9th / 10th. Century built as a moated castle. In 1180 the knights Bovo and Reiner "de Berg" were mentioned as witnesses in a document of the Archbishop of Trier about a long lease, and in 1202 Egidius von Berg was lord of the castle. Arnold von Sierck acquired the castle in 1413. Johann von Kriechingen and Pittlingen had the castle converted into a palace in 1580. This explains the renaissance style that is visible today, despite the originally medieval building. From 1760 the ownership structure cannot be clearly assigned, it is divided between several principalities. In 1769, France ceded its ownership rights to Empress Maria Theresa, and after the Congress of Vienna, Berg Castle came into Prussian possession in 1815. Berg Castle passed into civil ownership in 1910. The castle was almost completely destroyed in the war winter of 1944/45. The Saarland became the owner in 1950 and had the castle rebuilt from 1955. It was used as a school camp from 1958 to 1984. Saarland Sporttoto GmbH acquired the castle in 1986 and had it converted into a hotel under the architects Bernhard Focht, Erich Fisabre and the interior designer Siegward Graf Pilati. In 1990 the hotel and a casino were opened in the modern extension. From 1997 a private hotel chain became a new operator and in 1998 opened a gourmet restaurant in the palace with chef Christian Bau, who has been awarded three Michelin stars every year since 2010. In 2001 a larger luxury hotel with a wellness area and beauty farm was opened in the vicinity of the castle. The castle was integrated into the hotel complex next to the new building and a country inn (below the castle). Source: de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Berg_(Saarland)
