Schloss Kewenig stands in Körperich (Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Kewenig is a former manor house in Körperich, Rhineland-Palatinate, counted among the oldest estate houses of the Eifelkreis Bitburg-Prüm district. Its core is a sixteenth-century moated house of near-square plan with four round corner towers, to which two neo-Gothic wings were added during the nineteenth century. Visitors today encounter a layered building where the original fortified core meets later additions, including a neo-Gothic staircase hall and a stone fireplace dated 1559, brought here from Schloss Neuerburg in 1912.

What to know

The Schloss is privately owned and is mainly accessible on the occasion of events, Christmas markets or summer festivals held on the grounds.
There are no regular public opening hours listed for this site.
The building is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Germany.
The structure combines a sixteenth-century moated house with nineteenth-century neo-Gothic wings, making it a layered building rather than a single-period monument.
Part of the outbuildings suffered a fire in 2013, which may account for ongoing restoration work visible on site.
