Buildings

Heesenburg castle house near the church

The old school, built in 1829 by Johann Claudius von Lassaulx , stands in the middle of the village . The municipal administration is located there today.
The Catholic parish church of St. Johannes was built by Ferdinand Nebel from 1844 to 1848 .
Near the church there is an old castle house with a striking hipped roof with a double row of dormer windows - the Heesenburg. It comes from the 13th century and belonged to the von der Arken family in Koblenz. In 1514 Marsilius von Arken sold the property to the Muhl von Ulmen family . Baron Johann Philipp Ernst von und zu der Hees inherited the castle in 1762. The east side has a single-storey half-timbered building with a gable end, the southwest corner one of the four original oriels rebuilt recently as an octagonal half-timbered bay.
Another former castle, the Zanter- or Zanderburg, also got its name from one of its last owners, the Zandt von Merl family. Originally from the long-established noble family Hase von Dieblich in the 13th / 14th centuries. Built in the 16th century, after the family with Eberhard Hase von Dieblich died out, the noble house came to Ruprecht von Reil in 1479, and later to the Koblenz bailiff Dietrich von Dietz. Then the Zandt von Merl family followed until 1679, which died out with IH Zandt von Merl. The barons of Hohenfeldt later inherited the property from him. After that, the building served as a rectory for a longer period of time.
