Nestled into the beautiful Salm valley lies the castle of bruch, a tranquil place to relax and
recover behind ancient and comforting walls.
Guests may choose between four completely refurbished rooms all situated in the manor
house. Each room has private bath and telephone.
The Bruch Castle was originally the domain of the lords of bruch. the earliest documentary
mention of the house of bruch dates from the year 1138, with Fridelo von Bruch. The castle
was built during the frst half of the 13th century, and probably completed in the year 1243. In
this year Theoderich von bruch was named as the lord of the castle ("dominus castri de
Bruche").
The von Bruch line came to an end with Dietrich the sixth, and possession of the castle
passed to his brother-in-law, Dietrich von Daun, who was invested with the rule of the castle
by the archbishop of trier in1338. During the following centuries, the lord of the castle was
sometimes under the suverainty of the prince-elektor of Trier and sometimes under the rulers
of Luxembourg. Ownership of the castle passed between a number of different families
belonging to the service nobility.
The roughly rectangular site of approximately 100 x 50 meters was originally sorrounded by
earthen ramparts and a moat. A second moat divided the castle inti the higher central fortress
(the keep),
with a palace, watch tower and fortified gates, and the larger outer fortress (the close), where
the outbuildings (stables, barns, blacksmith, etc.)
Particulary noteworth are the two high, relatively slender, round towers, which were added
around 1340, to increase the defensive capabilities of the castle,
which lay on the border to the duchy of Luxembourg.
The tithe warehouse, with its impressive lenght (about 43 meters), was built around 1650 on
the site of an earlier building. Above the ground floor of the present building are several
sandstone barrel vaults.
The larger manor house, located in the south west corner of the fortress, was constructed in
1738 by count Kesselstatt, the owner of the property at that time.
It incorporates the old chapel, wich was built about 1300.
Opposite the main house is a coach-house, which dates from the second half of the 19th
century.
