Arloff Castle is a well preserved fortified building from the early Gothic period.
Location
Arloff lies in the Voreifel between Euskirchen and the old town of Bad Münstereifel on the boundary between the Zülpich Börde lowlands and the Eifel mountains.
The river Erft flows through the village. The Erft and the Landesstraße 194 are crossed by local roads that run along the edge of the Eifel. The urban area of Arloff and the village to the north, Kirspenich, merge here in the wide valley of the Erft.
Archeology
A Roman icosahedron was found near Arloff. It was at first misclassified as a dodecahedron. It is on display in the Rheinisches Landesmuseum.
