Schloss Kellersberg stands in Alsdorf (Städteregion Aachen), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Kellersberg stood at Alsdorf, in the Städteregion Aachen district, North Rhine-Westphalia, until it burned down completely in 1897. It was a moated, four-winged brick castle built in the second half of the 17th century, with two projecting square corner towers topped by slate-covered lanterns. The western wing housed the main residential building, two storeys high with large stone-framed windows, and a castle chapel is documented in historical records. The building was never rebuilt; the only surviving element is a coat-of-arms stone dated 1724, now set into the gate wall of the neighbouring Kellersberger Hof farmstead.

What to know

The castle no longer exists since the 1897 fire, so there is no standing building to visit on site.
The location now corresponds to the southern edge of the Kellersberg district, occupied by the Kellersberger Hof farmstead and a forester's house.
The only visible remnant is a coat-of-arms stone dated 1724, set into the entrance wall of the Kellersberger Hof.
From 1906 onward, the site was used by the Eschweiler Bergwerks-Verein mining company to build a workers' housing settlement.
