Schloss Linzenich

Schloss Linzenich, today also called Gut Linzenich, is located in Bourheim, a district of Jülich in the North Rhine-Westphalian district of Düren. Its roots lie in a fortified estate that already possessed the eligibility for the Landtag in the 15th century. The owners from the von Harff family expanded the estate into a small moated castle, which saw many different owners through the marriage of heiresses and sale before it was auctioned off in 1836 by the von Mylius family, having been transformed into a castle in the meantime. The latter is still the owner today.
