A very beautiful complex in the style of a moated castle, with the river Nims flowing directly past it.

Unfortunately I don't know any story about it

Only sparse remains of the castle and the old city wall remain today. The restored castle ruins and the inhabited bailiff's house at Burgstrasse 25 were built in the 13th century by the Lords of Falkenstein.

Extremely great restored and renovated, great result, the castle shines and is absolutely worth a visit 👍

Very nice castle with a great inner courtyard, definitely worth a visit 👍

Incredibly beautiful little castle with a great café 👍

Rittersdorf Castle is a so-called moated castle. The almost square complex is surrounded by a moat. On the east side is the round, 26 meter high keep. A residential tower from around 1300 is located on the north side. There is also a residential building from 1550 and a coat of arms gate from 1575. It was first mentioned in a document in 1263. A possible builder was Theodoric von Rittersdorf, who – presumably as sub-vogt of the Counts of Luxembourg – built the complex for the Abbey of Saint Maximin in Trier. It was probably the task of the castle to secure the Trier-Bitburg-Prüm-Cologne road. In 1290, King Rudolf of Habsburg gave permission to build a keep. The Lords of Enschringen had owned the Rittersdorf fiefdom since the 15th century. From 1550 they had a residential building with two round towers built. Between 1978 and 1987 the facility was extensively renovated. The complex now serves as a restaurant and local history museum. In addition, a wedding room of the VG Bitburg is housed here, because who wouldn't want to tie the knot romantically in a castle?

Here you have created a great rest area with a wave lounger in an exposed position that offers a wonderful view of Rittersdorf, with the castle and the church of St. Martin. There is also a large cross here, but unfortunately I could not find out anything about its origin and meaning. Nevertheless, it was adorned with a fresh floral arrangement.
