プルハイムの洞窟・トップ20

First mentioned in 1230 as the bailiwick of Paffendorf, this Renaissance-style moated castle is completely surrounded by water. Today, a brasserie invites visitors to enjoy coffee, cakes, and light meals. These can be savored either in the stylish interior or in the castle courtyard overlooking the park. The courtyard also serves as a venue for concerts and Christmas markets. The 7.5-hectare castle park delights visitors with its expansive water features, ancient sequoias and ginkgo trees, a stone pavilion, and numerous seating areas that invite relaxation.

"...Even though Hülchrath Castle cannot be visited in more detail, this circular route is still very varied. There is a lot to discover and you can explore all kinds of historical things...." Find out more about our varied route at: https://www.netreisetagebuch.de/schloss-huelchrath-spazieren/

A real highlight, definitely worth cycling there.

Unfortunately you are not allowed to enter it but it also looks nice from the outside

Very beautiful moated castle with a nice park. You can also eat smaller meals and cakes in the brasserie in the inner courtyard.

a beautiful moated castle in private ownership

The autumn market at Paffendorf Castle is highly recommended! Very nice location, many varied stalls, friendly faces. In 2021, the weather was also at its best. Maybe it will work again at the next appointment.

This is how I imagine a castle. Balconies, loopholes, bay windows etc. etc. etc.
