Satzvey is a part of the city Mechernich in the district Euskirchen in the Eifel. In the village lies the castle Satzvey and near the
Hochwildpark Rheinland. Also a few hundred meters away are the castle Zievel and the castle Veynau.
Historically, the village is a "castle village". The oldest building from the 13th century is the
Parish Church of St. Pantaleon. In addition, many half-timbered buildings characterize the character of the village.

The castle Satzvey is one of the most beautiful moated castles of the Rhineland. The first records are from 1396,
but it is suspected that the foundations of the castle house are even older.
Over 300 years in family ownership, Burg Satzvey is still the residence and ancestral home of Count Beissel von Gymnich.

About castle Satzvey
"Thus, Satzvey Castle has become a true monument of its own history and aristocratic self-image in the mirror of the 19th century and a romantic ideal, as the old castle house could not and no other castle in the district Euskirchen convey."
