Berensberg Castle

Berensberg Castle, also known as Berensberg House and Berensberg Manor, is a former aristocratic residence in the Herzogenrath district of Kohlscheid-Berensberg. Until the beginning of the 15th century, the estate was a fief of the Electorate of Cologne and belonged to a low-aristocratic family of the same name. Then it came into the hands of the von Harff family, who had the moated castle, which had been damaged in the Eighty Years' War, rebuilt as a four-winged complex at the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries. Through the marriage of one of Harff's daughters, the complex passed to the von Reuschenberg family, under whom a new manor house was built in 1714. Other owners were the Peltzer and Cockerill families. Since 1910, Berensberg Castle has belonged to the city of Aachen.
