history

From 1239 the Kyllburg formed the basis of the Electoral Trier power in the area. In the 14th century an organization of offices was established. Elector Baldwin of Luxembourg formed an administrative office based on the French model. At the head of the offices there was now a bailiff . The Kyllburg office was one of 30 offices mentioned in documents during Baldwin's term of office. In a list commissioned by Elector Johann II of Baden in 1498, the Kyllburg office is one of 59 offices of the Elector of Trier.

From 1439 to 1453 the office was pledged to Johann Hurt von Schönecken. In 1547 it was pledged to the cathedral chapter, which was later redeemed.

Official seat

former electoral rent office

The administrative seat was initially the castle and then the former electoral rent office. The seven-axis hipped mansard roof building, probably from the second half of the 18th century, is a listed building as a cultural monument . It is used today as a hotel and rebuilt accordingly after the end of the spa state. In 1927 a hotel garden was laid out, partially built under with two-storey lounges made of concrete, two pavilions, reform architecture. A seven-axis extension was built shortly after 1930.
