Unfortunately, it was closed during my visit, but it is a very beautiful and imposing fortification in the style of a moated castle.

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

The unique Malberg Palace complex consists of the so-called New House, the Old House, the arcade building, the brewery, and the chapel. The "Iron Garden" and the "Round Garden" also belong to the palace, which is situated on a mountain spur. Malberg Palace dates back to a castle mentioned as early as 1008. Nothing of the medieval building remains. In 1681, the Veyder family took over the castle and, from 1708 to 1715, had it expanded into a palace in the Venetian Baroque style by Matteo Alberti, an architect from Venice. The impressive buildings feature stucco ceilings and wood paneling, as well as tapestries and antique furniture. A unique feature is a painted wall covering depicting hunting scenes. Civil weddings can be arranged at the palace. The palace is not wheelchair accessible. Dogs are not allowed. Source: https://www.eifel-direkt.de/a-schloss-malberg

Rittersdorf Castle, a charming moated castle dating back to the 13th century, was first documented in 1263. Originally built as a fortified house for the Abbey of St. Maximin in Trier, it served to secure the trade routes between Trier, Bitburg, and Cologne. The imposing 26-meter-high keep, whose construction was approved by King Rudolf of Habsburg in 1290, still dominates the castle's appearance today. In the 16th century, the complex was expanded to include residential buildings with round towers. Today, the castle houses a restaurant, a small museum, and even a registry office, located in the historic Knights' Hall.

Fine facility that can probably be traced back to a follower of Charlemagne... at least that's what it says... I can't believe it anymore... it was before my time..🥴

A beautiful castle ruin that can also be climbed. From the top you have a great view of Prümzurlay and the surrounding area.

Years ago we had a Christmas party here.

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