Schloss Thorn is a former castle that has been converted into a stately home. It is located in the town of Schloss Thorn, in the municipality of Palzem in the Landkreis Trier-Saarburg, Rhineland-Palatinate. The current owners are the Barons von Hobe-Gelting.

Schloss Thorn is the oldest Schlossweingut of the Moselle and is located opposite Remich directly on the Moselle. A Moselle furt under the castle was the reason for the Romans to build a watchtower on a protruding rock. This tower became the namesake of the castle, lat.: “Turris” = the tower.
The castle has been expanded, renovated and renovated over the centuries, so that today the architectural styles from the Middle Ages to the Empire can be read from the buildings of the castle complex. Due to its geographical location, on the right side of the Moselle in historic Luxembourg on the border with Kur-Trier, Schloss Thorn has witnessed numerous history-making events. In our time, the Schengen Agreement, which was signed on a ship passing under the castle, is particularly worth mentioning.

Thorn Castle is the oldest castle winery on the Moselle. It is opposite Remich (Luxembourg) on the German side. The Moselle cycle path leads almost directly past the castle.
