Malberg Castle is a baroque castle in the Malberg community in the Eifel district of Bitburg-Prüm in Rhineland-Palatinate. The palace complex is located above the village on the elongated headland of a basin on the large Kyllschleife in the Kyllburger Waldeifel. The landmark, visible from afar, is a baroque Palladio reception that is unique in Rhineland-Palatinate, as it is modeled on the Villa Valmarana in Italy designed by the famous architect. The complex owes its current appearance to Cologne's auxiliary bishop and vicar general Johann Werner von Veyder, who at the beginning of the 18th century had a simple Renaissance building redesigned and supplemented with various buildings in the Baroque style. Through the marriage of the heir's daughter Ernestine von Veyder, the castle came into civil possession. From 1989, the Kyllburg Association was the owner. Together with the Förderverein Schloss Malberg e.V., founded in 1996, she had the facility secured, repaired and restored piece by piece and with the help of funding in the millions. Today's owner is the Verbandsgemeinde Bitburger Land, into which the Verbandsgemeinde Kyllburg was merged in mid-2014.
