Unfortunately, it was closed during my visit, but it is a very beautiful and imposing fortification in the style of a moated castle.

At the end of May 1992, the fountain at the Pferdemarkt (horse market) was inaugurated on the occasion of the Old Town Festival in the brewery town of Bitburg. The bronze sculpture by Bitburg sculptor Roger Delleré is a figurative interpretation of the horse trade. It recalls the times when regularly held horse and cattle markets were still part of everyday life in the town and made a significant contribution to its economic prosperity. The work of art depicts two Bitburg natives, Klaus Schilling and Fritz Jäschke, as buyer and dealer in a horse trade, shaking hands.

Rittersdorf Castle, a charming moated castle dating back to the 13th century, was first documented in 1263. Originally built as a fortified house for the Abbey of St. Maximin in Trier, it served to secure the trade routes between Trier, Bitburg, and Cologne. The imposing 26-meter-high keep, whose construction was approved by King Rudolf of Habsburg in 1290, still dominates the castle's appearance today. In the 16th century, the complex was expanded to include residential buildings with round towers. Today, the castle houses a restaurant, a small museum, and even a registry office, located in the historic Knights' Hall.
