Description

Schloss Strauweiler is a noble seat and settlement in the valley of the Dhünn in Unterodenthal, in the municipality of Odenthal in the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis.

The complex was first mentioned in the middle of the 14th century, but the estate is considerably older. Its owners were, in succession, the lords of Vorst, of Quadt, of Hall and of Wolff-Metternich. Today the castle is owned by the family zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg.
