As a spur castle, Kerpen Castle rises picturesquely above the town of the same name.

The facility has been privately owned since 2018 and - to the best of my knowledge - is not accessible.

A great castle. It is privately owned and cannot be visited. The castle 🏰 is currently being restored. Beautiful forest area.

Kerpen Castle towers imposingly over the town of the same name. The castle is a so-called spur castle on a dolomite spur at 500 m above sea level. NHN. The exact year of construction cannot be determined. However, the castle also had prominent owners in modern times:
From 1907 to 1911, Kerpen Castle was owned by Clemens Manstein.
In 1911 the Eifel painter Fritz von Wille von Clemens Manstein bought the castle and had urgent security and repair work carried out. When the artist died in 1941, he was buried on the hill behind the castle.
In the same year, the DEMAG company bought the castle to use as a training center. In the 1950s, the company carried out further security, conversion and expansion measures.
From 1969 to 2007, Kerpen Castle was owned by the district of Neuss, which used it as a country school. Then a Dutch family acquired the facility and underwent a major renovation in 2010.
Most recently (2016) used as refugee accommodation, the castle was sold to an entrepreneurial family from Bonn in January 2018 and will be used for private residential purposes in the future. Therefore, a visit to the castle is unfortunately no longer possible. Nevertheless, care is taken to preserve the castle and that alone is worth a lot.
