View of the Manderscheid Castles

Beautiful castles! The lower castle is big and you can even visit it, but the upper castle is free to enter and you have a wonderful view of the lower castle!

View of Niederburg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Niederburg can be explored with guided tours - even at night - or on your own; it is only closed in bad weather. It was expanded into a magnificent, fortified seat of power in the 12th century by the noble family of the Lords of Manderscheid.
