    The history of Herrenbröl Castle goes back to the 12th century. It was destroyed during the Napoleonic campaigns, in 1833 the remains including the land came under the hammer, came into private ownership, were demolished in 1994 because of the risk of collapse and have belonged to the municipality of Ruppichteroth ever since. What the property looked like in its prime can now be studied in the Schönenberg town hall: Alois Müller has rebuilt the facility on a scale of 1:33. Dr. Jens Friedhoff from the Burgeninstitut: "This is what Herrenbröl Castle looked like in the 17th century with a high degree of probability."
