Schloss Trips stands in Geilenkirchen (Kreis Heinsberg), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 12th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Trips stands on four islands ringed by a moat, on the Wurm river at the northeastern edge of Geilenkirchen. Its medieval core, the manor house, has kept a defensive character despite 18th century Baroque alterations commissioned by the barons von Eynatten, who took over from the Berghe von Trips family, owners since the 14th century. The complex includes a four winged main building flanked by a square keep seven storeys high, and two outer courtyards built in the 17th century and partly rebuilt in recent years. Long chestnut avenues surround the estate, which retains the look of a fortified manor rather than a stately palace.

What to know

Schloss Trips is generally not open to visitors, as its outer courtyards now house a retirement home and senior housing.
The building is listed as a Baudenkmal in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The main interest lies in viewing the architecture from outside, along the accessible surroundings and chestnut avenues.
With no opening hours or admission fees given, this site is best treated as an exterior viewpoint rather than a monument open for touring.
