Nice place on the Kylltal cycle path with opportunities to rest by the bridge

Since the 19th century, it has been assumed or even stated as a fact that the castle was built on the remains of a Roman fort, which presumably served to protect the Roman road from Trier to Cologne.[1] However, there is no evidence or even hints for this.[2] It should also be remembered that the castle is four to five kilometers from the Roman highway.

According to local tradition, Bertrada, the mother of Charlemagne, lived in the castle, which suggests that he was born around 747. The existence of the castle was first documented in the 13th century as a state fortress of the princely imperial abbey of Prüm (compare the Middle Rhine Charter Book), but archaeological findings suggest that there were predecessor buildings to the castle complex.

Impressive remains of the castle from the Frankish period. Today privately owned.
Charlemagne is said to have been born here in the 8th century.
