Bensberg Castle (German: Schloss Bensberg) is a former royal hunting lodge in Bergisch Gladbach, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is now operated as a luxury hotel under the name 'Althoff Grandhotel Schloss Bensberg'.[1] The central axis of the building complex is exactly aligned with Cologne Cathedral.
History
[edit]The hotel was built in the early 18th century. During the COVID-19 pandemic, association football club 1. FC Köln moved their quarantine training grounds to the site.[2] From October 1945 to March 1946 it was the home of the 2nd Battalion Welsh Guards.
