The tower house (rarely also: Friesdorf Castle and Turmhof) is a courage house in the Bonn district of Friesdorf on the corner of Annaberger Straße and Im Bachele. It is one of the oldest surviving residential buildings in the Rhineland and is listed as a monument...
The tower house was built in the 12th or 13th century by the von Friesdorf family and was designed as a knightly estate. It later came into the possession of the Abbey of St. Michael in Siegburg, which gave it as a fief, including to von Belderbusch and von Schall. In 1830, the property was inherited by Baroness von Boeselager. During World War II, the house was badly damaged in a bomb attack on December 21, 1944. During the reconstruction, the roof shape was changed from a hip roof to a tent roof...
The Romanesque building has a basalt foundation and base. The walls are made of trachyte rubble, from which the wall surrounding the garden was also made.
