Namedy Castle in Namedy (on the Rhine, in the municipality of Andernach, Rhineland-Palatinate) is a moated castle that has been converted into a palace; its oldest parts date back to the 14th century. The dates on the façade give an insight into the building’s subsequent development. It has been owned by the von Hohenzollern family, an ancient noble house, since 1909. The Hohenzollerns still live in the palace today.
