Description

Ehreshoven Castle - half an hour from Cologne - is home to 16 countesses, baronesses and baronesses aged between 76 and 88. The moated castle with its old park was bequeathed as a foundation by the last heiress in 1920. Impecunious, unmarried, noble ladies of the Catholic faith are given the opportunity to spend a quiet, dignified retirement there, provided their families are listed in the Gotha.
