history
The Monreal Castle was the center of a domain of the noble family Virneburg , adjacent to their original rule of the County of Virneburg . In addition to the Monreal office, this includes the Langenfeld parish and the Kleine and Große Pellenz originally belonged to the Counts of Virneburg. The good relations between the Virneburgers and Kurköln and the fact that Heinrich II of Virneburg carried out constant raids on the nearby Electorate of Mayen sparked a feud between the Archbishop of Trierand the Virneburgers. At the mediation of the Archbishop of Cologne, the two parties agreed that Heinrich II. The castle and office of Monreal after the death of his father Robert III. von Virneburg should apply Trier to fiefdom , which also happened. When the family of those of Virneburg with the last Count Cuno died out in the male line in 1545, Heinrich von Leiningen followed as a feudal man . However, after 1555, the Trier elector did not reassign the fief, but appointed his own bailiff . From the middle of the 16th century the office was subordinated to the Mayen Upper Office . The Mayener bailiff was also bailiff of Monreal.
