Tips

Lörsfeld Castle is located on the western edge of the Erft lowlands. Originally, the square manor house made of bricks with a pointed arch frieze and four round corner towers with curved tower domes, the one-storey extension with stepped gables and the three-winged outer bailey in front were completely surrounded by water. In the course of lignite mining, the castle then suffered from the consequences of the groundwater lowering. So the ditches became mostly dry.

The castle was extensively renovated in 1990 and now houses a gourmet restaurant

The medieval Loersfeld Castle is located in the middle of an approx. 10 hectare English landscape park and is one of the most beautiful complexes in Germany. The property of the Lords of Loersfeld was mentioned in a document as early as 1262, although a farm probably existed on this site before then. Today's castle was mainly built towards the end of the 15th and 16th centuries, was spared from destruction in the numerous wars of the Middle Ages and the early modern period and has therefore remained almost unchanged since then.

Today, Thomas Bellefontaine runs a gourmet restaurant in the mansion. The restaurant in Loersfeld Castle is one of the top 100 restaurants in Germany. This is confirmed, among other things, by a star in the Michelin Guide and 14 points in the Gault Millau.
