Burg Wilhelmstein, Medieval castle in Bardenberg, Germany
The stone fortification stands on the eastern bank of the Wurm River, featuring defensive walls and a round tower with visible drawbridge chains.
Count Wilhelm IV of Jülich constructed the castle between 1265 and 1269 on the foundations of an earlier border fortress.
The castle grounds contain an open-air theater that presents concerts, cabaret performances, and cinema screenings from May through September.
The castle location at coordinates 50.8417°N and 6.10194°E provides access routes through the North Rhine-Westphalia region.
French troops under Louis XIV caused substantial damage to the castle in 1690, leading to significant structural modifications over subsequent centuries.
