Schloss Arff
About

Schloss Arff is a picturesque baroque castle on the northern edge of Cologne, set amid a romantic landscaped park that feels far removed from the bustle of the city. Built between 1750 and 1755, most likely by the French architect Michael Leveilly, it replaced an earlier medieval structure destroyed during the Cologne War. The castle’s elegant façade, historic courtyard, and surrounding centuries-old trees create an atmosphere of timeless charm. Once a noble residence, Schloss Arff has been carefully preserved and today serves as an exclusive venue for weddings, cultural events, and film productions. Its spacious interiors and event barn combine historic character with modern amenities, making it a sought-after location for both private and professional gatherings. Visitors are drawn not only to its architectural beauty but also to the sense of seclusion and tranquility it offers just outside the city. As the only baroque palace within Cologne, Schloss Arff stands as a rare example of 18th-century aristocratic architecture, embodying both heritage and contemporary elegance.
