Burg Satzvey, Mechernich

Satzvey Castle surely belongs to one of the most beautiful (n they claim to be the best maintained) moated castles in in North Rhine-Westphalia. It is stil unknown the exact built year of this place but its surely older than the year of 1396 - their first found written document.

Like some castles in Germany, this castle is owned and run by a royal Family named Count Beissel von Gymnich for over 300 years and they live there as well. This family organizes regular historic festivals throughout the year (ie. Easter & Spring Festivals, Knight Shows, Helloween and so on and the Seasonal Bazaar/Markets.

This castle is reachable both by train (only 3 min walking distance from the Train Station Satzvey) as well as car through A1, exit 111 Wisskirchen.

I wonder if we could visit the Christmas Market this year as I've never been there during Winter time n surely one of the Advent Weekends would be just perfect.
