Extremely great restored and renovated, great result, the castle shines and is absolutely 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?

"Towards the end, a seemingly endless meadow path awaits us, which leads straight down. Downward. Further down. Only when we realize that we were at an altitude of 550 meters near Weißenseifen, but Malberg is at 300 meters, do we calm down; the path does not lead straight into the underworld. Nevertheless, it is impressive how long we walk downhill to then arrive at the castle at the top of the village. And climb further down into the steep place. Malberg then a small Eifel pearl. “The town center and Malberg Castle are listed as a monument zone. In addition, the list of cultural monuments shows 36 individual monuments, including the baroque palace complex on a ridge surrounded by the Kyll (and) the Catholic parish church of St. Quirin [...]."

Rittersdorf Castle has remained almost unadulterated since it was built and conveys an impressive picture of late medieval and modern Renaissance living culture. The approximately 700-year-old moated castle is located three km north of Bitburg in Rittersdorf. It houses a small local history museum and the registry office (branch office) of the Bitburg-Land association municipality in the Gothic Knights' Hall. There is also a privately run restaurant with fine country cuisine. In terms of art history, the castle is particularly known for the elaborately designed archway. Medieval banquets are held in the castle hall at regular intervals. After the welcome by the lord of the castle and his servants, squires and maids in medieval costumes serve food and drink. Banquet singers, jugglers and the authentically set knights' table contribute to the medieval atmosphere. Of course you can enjoy a fine country kitchen and a first-class wine in the stylishly furnished rooms of the restaurant.
