Caspersbroich Castle is a castle located in the Ittertal in the Solingen district of Ohligs. The castle owners also owned the feudal cottages in Buschenhaus, Hagscheid, Sombers, Hülsberg and Zwengenberg. Until 1808, Caspersbroich belonged to the Wald parish.
Around 1220, a vassal of Count Engelbert the Holy settled on the Itter, made the marshes there usable for agriculture and built a manor house. In 1438, the Junker Caspar von Pertsdorf bought the property and converted it into a knight's seat. From 1460 to 1480, Knight Pertsdorf headed the Solingen office.
By the marriage of the heir Elisabeth von Pertsdorf, Caspersbroich came into the possession of the Lords of Bawyr around 1518, who sold the house to Bernhard Everhard von den Bottlenberg around 1676. In 1772, the von Romberg family came into possession of the castle through marriage, but just a few years later, Clemens Conrad Franz von Romberg had to sell the house again in 1809. In 1810, it came into common ownership and was purchased by its previous tenant, Johann Adolf Holthausen.
In the 1860s, the Bergisch-Märkische Railway Company acquired the property, which had a railway embankment built directly in front of the castle for the Gruiten-Deutz railway line. Caspersbroich Castle subsequently belonged to various entrepreneurs and industrialists from the Bergisches Land.
In 1964, the Düsseldorf actor Claus Gorges acquired the now very run-down property and renovated it by converting it into condominiums. The banker Alfred Herrhausen lived on the castle grounds from 1975 to 1984
Unfortunately, you can't see much of the castle from the path.
