Description

Schloss Türnich is a schloss located in Türnich, now part of Kerpen, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The present main building was built from 1757 to 1766 in Baroque style, with an adjacent English landscape park. It has belonged to the Hoensbroech family since 1850. A richly decorated chapel was added in 1895.

The building was closed in 1979 because of structural damage caused by groundwater-related subsidence and has since then been restored. Its spacious park with a cafe is open to the public.
