The stately medieval fortification in the city of Aachen used to stand here - today you can only admire its ruins here. The building consisted of a mighty square residential tower, which was additionally protected on all sides by a mantle wall with four corner towers. In the 16th and 17th centuries, the two extensive outer castles were given their present form.

House Heyden is the ruin of a water castle from the beginning of the 14th century. According to historians, in the Middle Ages it was probably the most imposing facility of its kind in the Aachen area. [Wikipedia]

Haus Heyden is embedded in a beautiful landscape, with forest and meadows, and many horses in the paddocks. It's nice to go cycling and hiking there.
