Description

Once two-part Langendorf Castle was built in the 12th and 13th centuries as main and fore-castle surrounded by a moat. The round corner-tower of the late-gothic manor house dates back to the 15th century, as does the oldest part of the manor house. The more recent part of the manor house includes the chapel bay window and the courtrooms. The fore-castle with three wings was renovated in the 16th century, of which only the west wing has been preserved until today.

Today Langendorf castle is one of the best preserved and maintained moated castles in the Rhineland. Regular concerts are held there, entitled 'Concert in the Outbuilding' for up-and-coming young artists.
