Bergerhausen Castle

Bergerhausen Castle is a castle in Bergerhausen, which belongs to Blatzheim, a district of Kerpen in the Rhein-Erft district. A public park is attached to the castle complex, which attracts many visitors, especially on weekends, with its old trees and the view of the castle as a recreational area. Today Bergerhausen Castle is a popular place for weddings, weddings, birthdays and similar celebrations. It is possible for wedding couples to have a church wedding in the chimney room rented by the city of Kerpen and in the adjoining chapel. In addition, open-air concerts, handicraft markets, Christmas markets and wedding fairs took place here in a stylish atmosphere.The system is occasionally used as a film set for movies and television series. These include Tatort, Wilsberg, Unter uns, Alarm für Cobra 11 and the film lap prayers. The castle grounds are also available for photo series and advertising. As a result of the class reunion of the crime series SOKO Cologne (ZDF, 2011), the castle represents a school in which the headmistress was murdered. In the 25th episode of the crime series Wilsberg The Jubilee, the castle is used as a palace hotel.

It is still preserved today as one of the three castles in Bergerhausen. The moated castle was built in the 13th century and was the ancestral seat of the Knights of Bergerhausen. Around 1320, the Bergerhausen brothers sold part of their property to the Mariengradenstift in Cologne. The archbishops of Cologne acquired power to defend their sovereign territory. In 1334 Archbishop Walram gave Bergerhausen Castle to the knight Hans-Ulrich von Bergerhausen for services rendered. Around 1430 the descendants provided the castle with strong fortifications. Nella († 1442), heiress to Wilhelm von Bergerhausen, brought the property into her marriage to Statz von dem Bongart in 1424. The current castle was expanded in the 16th century.In 1830 the property came to Clemens August Waldbott von Bassenheim-Bornheim through marriage. At the end of the 19th century the family moved to Hungary, so that in 1894 a relative of the owner, Clemens Freiherr von Loë-Longenburg, bought the property and passed it on to his nephew Walter Freiherr von Loë. In 1976, the son Clemens Freiherr von Loë rented the facility to the Bergerhausen Psychotherapeutic Institute headed by Hans-Werner Gessmann. The institute developed it into a therapeutic center by 1989. After the sudden death of Walter Freiherr von Loë and his son Clemens, the community of heirs sold the castle complex to Josef and Willy Stollenwerk, the previous leaseholders of the courtyard lands. They renovated the buildings in 1984.
