Burg Odenkirchen, Medieval castle in Mönchengladbach, Germany.

The castle features stone walls, a tower, and remnants of a former moat system within a marshy area of Mönchengladbach.

King Frederick Barbarossa first documented the castle in 1153, confirming property rights to Arnold II, the Archbishop of Cologne.

The castle functions as a meeting point for the local heritage association, which maintains the historical records of the Odenkirchen district.

Visitors can access the castle grounds through a preserved entrance gate dating from 1734, built during the Merode-Westerloo family ownership.

The castle underwent multiple reconstructions after severe damage, including a restoration of the burnt-out tower in 1950 following World War II bombing.
