Ehreshoven Castle is a moated castle in Engelskirchen, Oberbergischer Kreis, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

[edit] History

The castle was first mentioned in 1355. Prior to becoming a Damenstift (a kind of monastery without a vow for noble ladies), it belonged to the counts of Nesselrode for 500 years. A moat exists around the castle, a French garden and a teahouse (16th century).

Today it is in the possession of the well-known German journalist Carmen Thomas, who runs a communication academy there.
