Drove Castle / Drover Heide in Kreuzau-Drove

image author: Ludwig Horriar, Vettweiß

Near the church of the village Drove was the original castle facility situated. Today it has completely vanished. Its former location only shows the still existing motte. In the 13th-century the masters of Drove were mentioned for the first time. The present castle facility was constructed from 1728-1741. In the gable field of the castle gate is apart from the year date 1728 also the coat-of-arms from builder - those of Rohe and those von Blanckart.
