Eulenbroich Castle was built around 1200 as a moated castle and is located in the Sülz river valley, very close to the center of Rösrath. Over the centuries, the building has served many different purposes: as a grand bourgeois villa, as the mayor's residence, and as a retirement home. Since 2003, the Eulenbroich Castle Cultural Association has managed the castle. Today, Eulenbroich Castle is open to the public for concerts, corporate events, markets, seminars, conferences, weddings, communion celebrations, and birthday parties.

During excavations, the remains of an initial castle complex dating back to the 13th century were discovered. Nothing is known about its inhabitants. The Staël von Holstein family is first documented as the owners in 1401. They resided in the moated castle until 1762 and constructed the second castle complex, comprising a manor house, stables for livestock, servants' quarters, an outer bailey, and moats. In 1762, Johann Werner Freiherr von Francken purchased the property from the neighboring Venauen estate. During the von Francken family's ownership, the medieval castle was transformed into a charming Baroque-style palace. When the Cologne industrialist Robert Rohr acquired the aristocratic residence, he first had to undertake extensive restoration work before he could establish his official residence in the palace as mayor of Rösrath in 1851. He served as mayor for life until 1878. In 1908, Emil Biedermann moved to Eulenbroich and established a leather factory for the company Stark & Biedermann in the building of the former Rösrath clay works, Benfey & Co., right next door. He commissioned the Cologne architect Hermann Eberhard Pflaume (nephew of Hermann Otto Pflaume) to transform the small castle into a stately bourgeois villa. In particular, the harmonious addition of a conservatory to the manor house on the east facade was designed according to his plans. After the Second World War, the complex served, among other things, as a boarding school for Belgian schoolgirls who attended the neighboring Venauen House. From 1955, the building stood empty for an extended period until 1969, when a private retirement home was established there. After the municipality of Rösrath took over the property in 1981, it required extensive renovations before being opened to the public in 1984.

The portal is an information center and is located on the ground floor of the new building of Wissem Castle. The tourist office is also located here. The picture book museum is opposite in the moated castle.

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

The castle and the surrounding area are worth a visit.
