Burg Alsbach stands in Engelskirchen (Oberbergischer Kreis), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Recorded dating: 14th century. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Alsbach, also known as Haus Alsbach, is a moated manor house in Engelskirchen, in the Oberbergischer Kreis, North Rhine-Westphalia. First recorded in 1373, it took its present form between 1622 and 1627, when a main house was added to an older tower, before being rebuilt in 1893 into a two-winged complex with an outer bailey. Ownership passed through several families before the counts von Spee acquired it in 1967, and they still hold it today.

What to know

  • The house remains privately owned and can only be seen from the outside.
  • Access is via a narrow approach road of about 300 metres leading to the moated house.
  • An outer bailey still stands outside the main enclosure, to the north-west of the manor.
  • No opening hours or fees are published, as viewing is limited to the exterior.
