Remains of the old castle facilities can still be found in Quecken. The fortification consisted of an approximately 300 m long ring wall, originally faced with a wall. Built in the 13th century and first mentioned in documents in 1317, the castle Bad Münstereifel was home to Knight Gottfried von Jülich and later the bailiffs and stewards of the Duke of Jülich. The castle was set on fire by withdrawing French troops in 1689. Since 1984, the castle has been privately owned and houses a restaurant. Also on the castle grounds is the Inge Baecker Gallery, which exhibits internationally renowned artists. Dogs are not allowed in the fallow deer park.
