Juntersdorf Castle

Juntersdorf Castle is on the outskirts of Juntersdorf , a district of Zülpich in the Euskirchen district in North Rhine-Westphalia, on Astreastrasse 6.

Juntersdorf Castle is a listed two-part moated castle made of quarry stone masonry .

The former Prüm fiefdom became the Nideggen castle fiefdom around 1400 . In 1443 the von Guntersdorf sold the property to the knight Reinhard Brent von Vernich . 1463 appears Degenhard Haes zu Türnich as a fiefdom holder. On December 4, 1494, Wilhelma von Linzenich and her children swapped Konradsheim Castle for Juntersdorf Castle. By marriage, the castle later came to the von Koelgraven and the von Holzheim. Johann Wilhelm von Harff also came to this property through marriage. In 1627 he made major repairs to the castle. The stone in the manor house , which was still legible until years ago, bore this year in addition to the family coat of arms.

The knight's seat that was eligible for the Landtag fell to his son Baldwin by inheritance. His sister Agnes inherited from him, who Juntersdorf brought with her to her husband Johann Heinrich Spies von Büllesheim zu Bubenheim . The next owner was the daughter Philippine Isabella Klara Spies von Büllesheim. She married Johann Franz Berghe von Trips. He was named as the owner in the Codex Welser in 1723 . From the beginning of the 19th century, the von Berghe zu Trips moved to Hemmersbach Castle . Juntersdorf became a lease property. After two fires in 1848 and 1883, the castle had to be rebuilt almost completely from scratch and larger. The current owners, the Rolff family , acquired Juntersdorf Castle from Count Eduard Berghe von Trips zu Hemmersbach.

The moat of the moated castle has long been filled in. The former castle now only consists of a large farm yard and a residential building. The farm buildings are in front of the manor house in the east as a three-wing complex. The north wing with its new gate from 1883 is directly connected to the manor house.

Juntersdorf Castle was entered on November 24, 1981 under number 19 in the list of monuments of the city of Zülpich .
