History

On the site of today's mansion there was already a manor house since 1131, which was expanded into a castle around 1478. The present manor house was built in 1755 according to plans by Michael Leveilly of Maria Debèche.{{Ill|Andreas Denk|de}}, {{Ill|Ingeborg Flagge|de}}: Architekturführer Bonn. {{Ill|Dietrich Reimer Verlag|de}}, Berlin, 1997, {{ISBN|3-496-01150-5}}, {{p.|78}}

Architecture

The three-story house with an almost square ground plan is located in the middle of a park at the end of an avenue and was built in the style of a small Lustschloss. The façade of the house is structured by Haustein-framed segmental arches. On top of the steep gambrel sits a push-up spire with an octagonal turret. The entrance is reached by a central double-flight staircase.[https://www.alleburgen.de/bd.php?id=18938 Rheindorfer Burg] on alleburgen.de
