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

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.

The cycle path is completely passable again

Years ago we had a Christmas party here.

Incredibly beautiful little castle with a great café 👍

Hello everyone, the comments about riding on the cycle path are now outdated! I did the Zendscheid - Trier/Ehrang route myself. It is open the whole way. Behind Erdorf there is an underpass that is not without danger, before that it goes downhill for around 50 m with a 25% gradient; you should really get off, after the underpass there is a slippery stream crossing, you have to get off here!

The Salm 💦🌊 meanders 🐍 beautifully through the valley

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?
