    If you stay on the actual Burg Uda hiking trail, you will not get much to see from Uda Castle. Here you should take the time for a little detour.

      The first documented mention of the castle as castrum Ude when it was entrusted to the Archbishop of Cologne, Heinrich II von Virneburg, dates from 1313. The castle settlement of Oedt was built near the castle.

      Only one of the round towers, the foundations and remains of the masonry have survived from the castle. The castle complex, located near the Niers, is considered a landmark of Oedt and has been used by the Oedt Heimatverein since 2012. The tower can usually be visited every Sunday. => heimatverein-oedt.de/startseite

      Climbing the tower is really worthwhile, as in good weather you have a great view of the Lower Rhine.

        CASTLE UDA
        In the district of Oedt, the remains of Uda Castle are in close proximity to the Niers and the renatured oxbow lake. It was first mentioned in a document in 1313. It is the landmark of the district of Oedt, from which the name is derived.
        The castle tower is a listed building. The Heimatverein Oedt makes it possible to visit the tower on a few days a year. A citizen of Oedter has created an internet presentation with detailed information about Uda Castle.
        The municipality owns the building and it is administered and operated by the building authority.
        The very extensive restoration and redevelopment of Uda Castle was carried out on September 28, 2013 with the anniversary celebration “700 years of Uda Castle” by Heimatverein Oedt e. V. concluded with many citizens. Visitors can now find out more about the history of the castle, the town of Oedt and the Niers in photo documentation. There are also some showcases with archaeological finds. After 123 steps, the visitor is rewarded with a wonderful view of the Niersauen.
