Tips

Markus Häusler (MH)🔌🚵‍♂️

Schloßstraße 25 / Merten Castle was first mentioned in 1247. The Lords of Kappenstein were the first to be mentioned by name. The document from 1218 confirms that no house inhabited by laypeople may be built within the monastery walls. This is how Merten Castle came into being. Merten Castle is now privately inhabited. It is therefore not possible to visit the grounds.
