history

Coat of arms of the Lords of Lülsdorf

It was built in the 12th and 13th centuries and was the seat of the Lords of Lülsdorf. In 1380 the Bailiwick of Lülsdorf came to the Duchy of Berg and around 1530 became the seat of the Löwenberg office .

After several changes of ownership, the new Lülsdorf office was created in 1446 with the parishes of Lülsdorf, Volberg , Mondorf and Bergheim . Rheidt and Niederkassel were combined with Sieglar (Troisdorf) to form the Löwenburg office. The Bailiwick of Lülsdorf, which was later renamed by Wilhelm IV. Von Berg in Amt Lülsdorf in the Duchy of Berg , was the administrative seat, the seat was at the castle Lülsdorf.

“This office is not great, but it is very good, and the subjects can very well survive here, measured the terrain well and provided with everything that the farmer needs, and what is left of it can sell very dearly at Bonn or Cologne . "

In 1642 the castle was transferred as a fief to General Field Marshal Peter Melander von Holzappel . After being destroyed several times, it was in ruins until 1949 and was then rebuilt. In 2005, the castle served as a residential building, among other things. In 2006 it was sold to the castle king Herbert Hillebrand .
