Graurheindorf Castle
The Graurheindorf Castle (also Burg Graurheindorf or Rheindorfer Burg) is a castle in the Bonn district of Graurheindorf.
A manor house stood at the site of the present castle as early as 1131, which was expanded into a castle around 1478. The current manor house was built in 1755 according to plans by Michael Leveilly by Maria Debèche.
Architecture+
The two-story house with an almost square floor plan is located in the middle of a park at the end of an avenue and was built in the style of a small pleasure palace. The facade of the house is structured by segment-arch windows framed with natural stone. A dormer with an octagonal turret sits on the steep mansard roof. The entrance is accessible via a central double-flight staircase.
Current Use+
The building is privately owned and used as a residence. The castle, the park, and a stone wayside cross are listed as architectural monuments.
