Very nice castle with moat. Unfortunately only to be viewed from the outside.

The moated castle surrounded by the lost village of Ringsheim in the 17th century was in the 13th century in the possession of the important lords of Ringsheim as a Cologne fief and strategically well located between the Flamersheim spell forest and the coronation road. - In addition to the castle with the village and the church, the Ringsheim gentlemen also had a house monastery in Schweinheim and castles in Flamersheim and Lindweiler.

The castle was first mentioned in 1249 when it was destroyed. An Adolf von Ringsheim appears in 1278. His descendants had to sell their headquarters in 1455 to Johann Hurth von Schoeneck, Erbmarschall von Jülich, because of overindebtedness. With the death of the last Hurth von Schöneck, the archbishop took over the fief of Ringsheim Castle and did not give it back until 1635 to Johann Freiherr von Beck, whose son sold the estate to the Cologne-born treasurer Philipp von der Vorst in 1656. After long inheritance disputes, Philipp Wilhelm von Harff zu Dreiborn, a distant relative of the Hurth von Schöneck, was awarded the estate in 1713. The new palace was built under him. From 1783 the barons of Manteuffel were initially in possession of the complex, followed in 1791 by the baron of Dalwigk zu Flamersheim. In 1861, the widow of the Elberfeld silk manufacturer Julius August Bemberg finally acquired Ringsheim Castle, together with Flamersheim Castle. Her son Julius von Bemberg followed as heir to the two estates, who left Ringsheim in 1903 to his son Louis Julius and Flamersheim to his son Robert. Louis' son Hans Oskar was married to Marita von Schaaffhausen in the first marriage and to Edith von Beckerath in the second marriage. The latter adopted Wennemar von Schaaffhausen, who inherited Ringsheim Castle in 1990.
