    From the town center you look at a stately building that blocks the view of the other buildings. The castle is privately owned and can only be visited from the outside.
    The courtyard on the left and the castle used to belong together.

      The Oberburg, one of two castles in Vlatten, was first mentioned in 1385. It is provided with fortifications and a moat. The castle and the associated manor changed hands several times over the centuries until they finally came into the possession of the von Gagern family at the end of the 19th century. The lower castle, which was probably developed from a solid courtyard at the end of the 14th century, was a water fortress like the upper castle and had the same protective function. Built on swampy terrain, the lower castle fell into disrepair over the centuries. Your site is now used as a meadow. Source: eifel.de/go/sehenswertes-detail/oberburg_vlatten.html
