Burg Anstel stands in Rommerskirchen (Rhein-Kreis Neuss), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Anstel is a former moated castle in the Anstel district of Rommerskirchen, recognised as the oldest surviving civil building in the municipality. First recorded in 1155 under a certain Sigefridus de Anstele, it kept its original layout of an outer bailey and a main house surrounded by a water-filled moat even after being converted into a baroque residence in 1722. A brick bridge, likely replacing an earlier drawbridge, still links the two parts of the complex, and a coat-of-arms stone dated 1722 marks the entrance to the main house. The grounds now host a farm and an equestrian business, so access is generally limited to viewing the exterior.

What to know

The site is used as a farm and an equestrian centre, so access to the interior is generally not possible.
From outside, visitors can see the brick bridge crossing the moat and the 1722 coat-of-arms stone.
No opening hours or admission fees are published, as the place is not set up for tourism.
The castle stands in the small settlement of Anstel, outside the main village of Rommerskirchen.
