The Poppelsdorf Castle is the successor of a destroyed in the Truchsess War in 1583 Gothic moated castle and was planned from 1715 (cornerstone laying 21 August) to 1740 and built. Architect was the Frenchman Robert de Cotte. Builders were the Cologne Elector Joseph Clemens and his nephew and successor Clemens August, who had it extended to plans by Balthasar Neumann. After its builders, it was also called Castle Clemensruhe.

Today, in the castle next to the rebuilt Mineralogical Museum of the University of Bonn various scientific institutions such as parts of the Steinmann Institute of Geology, Mineralogy and Paleontology, the Institute of Zoology and the Institute of Molecular Physiology and Developmental Biology. There were temporarily housed parts of LIMES (Life and Medical Sciences Bonn), which, however, moved to this in 2010 after completion of its own building. In the courtyard, the Poppelsdorf Palace Concerts, which are performed by the Classical Philharmonic Orchestra Bonn under the baton of Heribert Beissel, take place every Saturday in the summer season.

A medieval moated castle, which was expanded in the 16th century and demolished in 1657 after the destruction of the war, forms the starting point for the development of Poppelsdorf Castle and its gardens.

In place of the moated castle a pleasure palace was built according to the ideas of the Elector Josef-Clemens, which referred in its axial orientation to the city residence of the prince. This is now used as the main building of the university. Both buildings are connected by the Poppelsdorfer Allee. The castle was built to plans by the Parisian court architect Robert de Cotte.
