Castle Königsbrunn is the primary residence of the Lahnstein family, and is located near Düsseldorf. It is in existence since 1164. In 2011 it was threatened by a fire in the Lahnstein forests which surround the castle. A sudden rainfall put the fire out before it could reach the castle.

Rooms[]
The entry hall[]

The dining room is the room where the family eats, it is right off the entry hall. It leads to the fireplace room as well as back into the entry hall.

The kitchen and the manager's office[]
These two rooms are basically the headquarters of the castle's staff. This is where dinner is prepared for the Lahnsteins, and where much of the equipment is stored. There are doors that lead outside the castle from the kitchen, and also to the castle's cellar, along with stairs leading eventually into the entry hall.
Cellar[]
The cellar of the castle. In 2010 it got infested by a mushroom and cost the Lahnstein family a lot in order to remove it. Currently the cellar is functional again.
Other[]
There are many other, mainly smaller rooms throughout the castle, which bear little significance. There are also some rooms that haven't appeared on screen yet, but might exist. One example would be Rebecca's suite but it is unknown whether she has her own suite, or if she uses the suite of someone who is currently not living in the castle, like for example Maria di Balbi or Leonard von Lahnstein.
