Historic Center of Seffent

Seffent Castle is a medieval castle complex in Seffent, a northwestern part of Aachen. Its history goes back to the Carolingian period.

Built as a supply estate for the Duchy of Lorraine, Seffent Castle developed into a four-wing complex with defensive, architectural elements in the 17th century. After a comprehensive restoration that saved the buildings from their final decay, they are now home to apartments. (Source: Wikipedia)

The center of Seffent (two highlights have been combined here, for whatever reason ...) offers some pretty houses and sights.

The town of Seffent is characterized by the castle of the same name and the surrounding magnificent square courtyards. Seffent was once a royal court that looks back on 1,100 years of history.
