ルッピヒテロートの洞窟・トップ20

This is simply a great view of the Siegtal. And especially for railway fans when a red S-Bahn or a red RE9 passes through. By the way, a photo of this view can also be seen in the Wikipedia article about the Cologne S-Bahn: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-Bahn_K%C3%B6ln

The castle has a full calendar of events and the museum will be open again from June 8, 2023. But even so, the castle is a worthwhile destination. Further information at http://www.schloss-homburg.de/cms200mfsh/home/.

Impressive castle complex, especially when you first saw it from the valley. Unfortunately not always accessible.

A particularly beautiful view of the Siegtal!

The model shows it at its best, around 1300. You can see here that the castle complex consisted of four parts, namely the main castle, the outer castle, the old town and the new town. It is one of the largest castle complexes in western Germany.

Niederpleis Castle can still be found in the town of Sankt Augustin today, although it no longer has anything in common with the former walls. Because this disappeared completely in the 19th century. The old castle had a long history, as it was first mentioned in documents in 1071. The castle belonged to the Lords of Lüning for a long time. This was evidently from the beginning of the 14th to the middle of the 18th century. Several owners followed before the old castle was demolished by its then owner in the 1870s. Construction of the castle as it appears today began as early as 1874. Other owners followed. However, it has not seen a change of ownership since 1927. Niederpleis Castle is still privately owned today, and agricultural products are sold in a farm shop. Source: burgen-und-schloesser.net
