Castle of the Knights of Kröv

It was once owned by the knights of Cröv, a ministerial family that represented the German king/emperor in his immediate allodium before the free, self-complementing knight court as bailiff. The castle was a water castle with a surrounding moat. A watercolor from 1820 (in the Middle Moselle Museum Traben-Trarbach) shows this castle. The towers were demolished in 1823 by the new owner Wagner. Wagner's descendants founded a retirement home and a kindergarten in 1896. The "old castle" from 1623 is still preserved, as well as the castle dungeon, which was built over around 1960 as part of the expansion of the retirement home of the Franciscan sisters.
