The stone fortress stands on elevated ground above the Sieg river, featuring defensive walls, towers, and fortifications that define its medieval architecture.

Built during the feudal period, the castle served as a strategic stronghold for local nobles who controlled and protected the surrounding territory in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The castle grounds host regional events throughout the year, connecting residents with their heritage through educational programs about medieval life and architecture.
