Schloss Fellenberg

Schloss Fellenberg is a small castle and museum in Merzig in the Saarland. Originally built as a bark mill, the building was converted into a castle-like structure after 1858 by the Swiss manufacturer Wilhelm Tell von Fellenberg. The building is divided into two parts; while the larger part consists of a multi-story, yellow-plastered and rather plain wing, the smaller one was built of red sandstone and received a bay window, a tower and a gargoyle. After the death of the childless first couple of owners, the castle passed to the von Boch family.
