House Attenbach is a former aristocratic residence on the left bank of the Sieg in Hennef in the Rhein-Sieg district and namesake of the district in which it is located. The two-storey building with its two round corner towers belongs to the Niederungsburg type due to its location . It is privately owned and can only be viewed from the outside.
history
The exact date of foundation of the castle complex is not yet known, as detailed written sources are not yet available. The place name Attenbach was mentioned for the first time in 1142 in the inventory of the Nonnenwerth monastery (other sources report that it was first mentioned in 1126 in the abbey's letter of foundation). In 1367 it is documented that the then owner, knight Johann von Attenbach, named himself after his castle.
At the beginning of the 16th century, the facility came to Arnold von Vüneahl (also von Fünfzahl and von Vonfzahl ), whose heir daughter Maria Wilhelm von Gevertzhagen married and brought the castle into their marriage. In 1545, the couple had today's manor house built on the site of the late medieval complex , as evidenced by a year above the door frame of the entrance along with the Gevertzhagen-Vstufen double coat of arms.
In 1810 the castle was sold to Baron Theodor von Hallberg-Broich from the Hallberg family . In 1812, von Hallberg-Broich was by far the wealthiest man in the canton of Hennef . The Proprietaire (landowner) had to pay 998 francs in taxes, the second in the Notables list only 215. In 1817 he sold the property to Matthias Heister zu Menden.
