Castle of Puth

The current castle dates partly from the 16th, partly from the 17th and 18th centuries. Some cellars may be older. The castle is already mentioned in documents from the 14th century.

The main building consists of a more or less rectangular country house, built in the style of the Liège-Aachen Baroque. The facade on the courtside is entirely 18th century and built of brick. The windows (1-3-1) regularly placed in the facade are framed with bluestone and separated from each other by checkered pilasters. The east facade is most similar in architecture to the front facade; this also consists of brick with a pivoting gable with bacon layers. The other facades contain older parts from the 16th century and are made of Limburg marl. The late Gothic arch frieze under the roof of the west facade dates from the 16th century. The mansard roof covered with slate is the 18th century. The main building is surrounded by a wide moat with a brick arch bridge from the 17th or 18th century.

The interior features an 18th-century stairwell and several 18th- and early-19th-century fireplaces. The basement walls are covered with wall tiles in blue and ocher.
