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.

Crossing the stream is very dangerous. I fell and broke my femoral neck because of the missing railing. Now, there's a huge detour, with a considerable elevation gain, to avoid this hazard. Unfortunately, no one feels responsible for reinstalling the railing that was removed after the storm. It's a real shame. The Kyll Valley Cycle Path is increasingly losing popularity.

The cycle path between Kyllburg and St. Thomas is currently closed, you will be diverted via the road!

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.

Years ago we had a Christmas party here.

That's absolutely true, but maybe better than using the road
