Formerly surrounded by a moat, Schloss von der Leyen - the former Gondorfer Oberburg - is the only moated castle on the Mosel.

The castle was first mentioned in 1272. It was probably built as early as the 12th century. In 1560, the lords of the Leyen resided here and transformed the castle into a castle. This noble family was at that time the most powerful of the Mosel. In 1720 they alone had 275,000 vines. With that they lived up to their name. Ley means rock, which makes of the Leyens to the masters of the rocks.

At the beginning of the 19th century, the castle was partially rebuilt in neo-Gothic style to counteract the decline of the facility.

A truly princely view of Schloss von der Leyen can be had from the opposite bank of the Moselle. The castle - today separated by the B 416 and railway tracks - includes the main castle with the Palas and the so-called new building of the Elector Johann VI. from the 16th century. The outer bailey includes a three-storey building, which is adjoined by the gate from 1527.

Castle of the Leyen was restored in 1907. In it are the wine museum as well as an exhibition of the provincial capital archive.
