Glaadt Castle Ruins
Highlight • Castle
In the Middle Ages Glaadt was even more important than Jünkerath, because at that time there was only one settlement of huts. That is why the counts of Blankenheim built a castle there in the 13th century, which was converted into a magnificent hunting lodge at the beginning of the 17th century. However, a lightning strike burned it down to the foundation walls in the 18th century. It was not until 1967 that the ruin, which was in danger of collapsing, threatened to be completely demolished, did the renovation work, which lasted until 1989. In the area around the ruins, the former moat and the approximate extent of the complex indicated by the remains of the wall are clearly visible.

Neue Kolonie Jünkerath
Highlight • Settlement
The ring-shaped housing estate is an attractive complex consisting of a gatehouse, six semi-detached houses and a single-storey block with six residential units. The semi-detached houses as well as the row construction have beautifully structured facades and there are courtyard and garden areas between the buildings. This shows the high standard of progressive contemporary housing development at the time.
This urban and architecturally beautiful ensemble is unique in Rhineland-Palatinate.
