Kerpen Castle

Highlight • Castle

The exact origins of Kerpen Castle are shrouded in the mists of history. It is considered very likely that its builder was Sigibertus de Kerpene, first mentioned in documents in 1136, or his son Heinrich I (1142–1177). However, an exact construction date cannot yet be given.

Kerpen Castle

Highlight • Castle

The holy house in the immediate vicinity of Kerpen Castle was built in 1885 in honor of the Mother of God, Mary. The citizen of Kerpen, Matthias Frings, had it built out of gratitude for the financed priestly training.
The Heiligenhäuschen is the 11th station on the Kerpen History Trail.

Niedereher Bach Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The bridge survived the flood in summer 2021. However, the ramp has been washed away on both sides, so you have to climb and the bridge is no longer barrier-free.

Very nice area. As soon as you cross the bridge and the road, it goes straight uphill towards Dorsel.
