history

The place Salwey was first mentioned on February 14, 1354. Fourteen years later a mill in Obersalwey was registered in documents. Obersalwey Castle was built around 1540.

Early clues about the size of the place can be found in an appraisal register (used to collect taxes) for the year 1543. According to this, there were 13 taxpayers in “OuerenSalwege” (by far the largest tax was due to Hanß Pannekocke); this number should have agreed with the courtyards or houses existing at that time.

The village of Obersalwey has been part of the new community of Eslohe since January 1st, 1975.

religion

The St. John Baptist Chapel in the village was probably built in the 17th century. On the last Sunday in August there is a procession in honor of John the Baptist every two years .
