Eibach Castle
Eibach Castle is the ruin of a moated castle in Lindlar in the Oberbergischer Kreis in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The castle ruin is located directly next to Gut Eibach, a larger farm in Eibach in the municipality of Lindlar.
Only a few hundred meters away lies the ruin of Neuenberg Castle.
It was built in the 14th century as a moated castle with a floor area of 15 by eight meters. The first documented mention was in 1356.
In the 15th and 16th centuries, the estate was owned by the knightly family von Neuhoff, called Ley. Afterwards, it was taken over by the Seraing family.
On the night of December 16th to 17th, 1782, the castle burned down. The mighty round tower in the southeast and parts of the south wing of the 17th-century outer bailey have been preserved. After the catastrophe, Count von Wallmoden acquired the residence, but in 1809 the inventory was auctioned off.
Towards the end of the 20th century, a restoration took place, which incurred costs of 200,000 DM (approximately 100,000 Euros).
