    Immediately on the banks of the Moselle is the ancestral seat of the princely family von der Leyen, the upper castle, also called Gondorf Castle, with components from Gothic and Renaissance.

      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.
