Lauvenburg

The Lauvenburg is located in Kaarst in the Rhine district of Neuss in North Rhine-Westphalia, Zur Lauvenburg 4.

The former Electoral Cologne fiefdom was built before 1300, because it was first mentioned when Heinrich von Lovenburg (Lauvenburg) donated his tithe in Willich and a pension to Langst to the Kamp Abbey in 1300 . The history of the local nobles ended in the 15th century. The owners changed in quick succession. In 1897, the Neuss-based screw manufacturer Christian Schaurte had the castle walls of the castle, which was rebuilt in 1600, blown up by Cologne pioneers and built the villa that is still preserved today. He then runs a horse stud on the property , which still exists today. During the Second World War , a field airport was built on the site .

Monument description

The medieval castle was replaced by a new building around 1600, which in turn had to give way to today's buildings around 1900. The Lauvenburg was first mentioned in a document around 1300. Today's manor house consists of a two-storey villa with a broken stone base made of tuff . The open entrance hall with balcony is striking. Turrets and bay windows in historical decorative shapes decorate the main building.

The three-winged gatehouse with a raised central wing and a large gate entrance is also part of the monument . It is built as a half-timbered building in neo-renaissance jewelry forms and serves as an apartment and farm building.

The Lauvenburg was entered on July 9, 1984 under number 17 in the list of architectural monuments in Kaarst .
