Schloss Lerbach stands in Bergisch Gladbach, in the Lerbach valley, on the site of a moated stronghold first recorded in 1384. The present building, in an English neoclassical country house style, was completed in 1898 for the industrialist Richard Zanders and his wife Anna, née Siemens, to designs by architect Gabriel von Seidl. It is set within a 26 hectare landscape park laid out by the Berlin garden director Albert Brodersen, with a pond, vistas and small ornamental structures. Long run as a hotel, the estate has belonged since 2023 to a new owning family and is currently undergoing building work.
