Wolfsburg stands in Bornheim (Rhein-Sieg-Kreis), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.
The Wolfsburg, also known as Broicher Hof, is a former moated castle located in the Roisdorf district of Bornheim. Its origins likely predate the 15th century, though the main building took its present form during a construction phase in 1626, recognizable by the curved gable typical of late Rhenish Renaissance style. The outer bailey was rebuilt in baroque style in 1721, and its gate tower dates from that period. The moats that once surrounded the whole complex have since vanished, leaving only faint traces in the terrain.
