The castle’s lineage has spread over many ancient royal families. It began with the Benedictines, until the Archbishop of Cologne gave the lordship to Otto von Vey in 1368. Although the castle has retained the name Vey (partially), the family’s ownership of Burg Satzvey was far less enduring. Satzvey Castle’s courtyards are a beautiful sight to behold. With the impressive walls of the castle all around you, a visit to these courtyards make it easy to envision what life in the Satvey must have been like. They also provide many excellent photo opportunities and are the site for many of the Burg’s special events. [Source]
