Schloss Auel stands in Lohmar (Rhein-Sieg-Kreis), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Auel stands in Lohmar, between Cologne and Bonn, on the site of a moated castle first documented in 1391. Since 1818 the estate has belonged to the barons von la Valette St. George, whose most famous member, Jean Parisot de la Valette, successfully defended Malta against the Ottomans in 1565. The building underwent a thorough renovation in 2006 and was expanded in 2016 with a contemporary structure built from natural materials, which won an architecture prize in 2018. The estate now operates as a hotel with a golf course, with its park and surroundings visible from the grounds.

What to know

  • The estate today operates as a hotel with a golf course, so access to the building itself is mainly limited to its grounds and park.
  • No visiting hours or admission fees are available, as the site functions primarily as a private hotel business.
  • The castle is listed as a Baudenkmal in North Rhine-Westphalia.
  • It is located in Lohmar, in the Rhein-Sieg-Kreis, between Cologne and Bonn, easily reached from either city.
