Niederburg Manderscheid

Niederburg Manderscheid

Manderscheid

The Niederburg, first mentioned in a document in 1173, was always owned by the Manderscheider dynasty of counts. Here you can get a hands-on experience of the Middle Ages! Especially at the annual "Historical Fords Festival" on the last weekend in August.

Since 2018, the Niederburg has been owned by the town of Manderscheid and is actively supported by the then newly founded Ford Association and enriched with great events at all times of the year.

If you want to get to know the castle life of yesteryear, you should let the knight Lukas von Manderscheid guide you through his realms.

Castles of Manderscheid

The spa town of Manderscheid is most famous for two medieval castle ruins that stand directly opposite each other on steep mountain spurs not far from the town's alleyways. The massive complexes are separated only by the little Lieser river and a meadow, which in summer becomes a perfect place for a breather while hiking the Eifelsteig trail or for a family picnic with children. On a weekend in August, however, the castles and the meadow are ideal settings for a spectacular festival with quaint crafts, jugglers, jousting tournaments and minstrel singing. In Advent, the Manderscheid Castle Christmas lends the town a special magic. The freely accessible upper castle with its five-storey keep still looks martial today. The lower castle can be explored on guided tours - even at night - or on your own; it only remains closed in bad weather.
