The castle small destroyer , also Gürtzgensburg called, is the residue of a Wasserburg am Lommersumer mill trench near the Erft in Weilerswist district small destroyers (Am Klarenhof) in the district of Euskirchen in North Rhine-Westphalia .
The Kleinvernich moated castle is still surrounded by a complete moat and is used and inhabited as an agricultural property.
Today the former castle complex, a so-called “ courtyard festival” without previous knightly status, appears as a four-wing courtyard complex. Suggest old drawings from 1705 that the castle over a bailey possessed but the little mansion of Tudor had already disintegrated. At the beginning of the 18th century the late Gothic small castle was completely in ruins. In 1781 the courtyard was rebuilt.
In 1610 the castle was named as owned by the Lords of Gürtzgen and in 1730 it lost its eligibility for state assembly because it did not meet the requirements .
