Schloss Lerbach is a former Neo-Renaissance mansion with an English landscaped park. Originally it was a two-storey castle house with a three-storey tower (moated castle), today a neo-baroque country house with a mighty tower.
Today's Lerbach Castle was built as a country estate for the paper manufacturer Richard Zanders. During the 2006 World Cup, the castle served as the base for the Brazilian team.
Knight Johann von Hoenen built the castle in 1384, then it became the property of the Lords of Forsbach called Merheim, 1865 Levin Graf Wolff Metternich, 1893 Anna and Richard Zanders and 1893 the von Siemens family. It is currently a luxury hotel with a star restaurant, but is vacant at the moment.
