Peperburg, Medieval castle ruin in Grevenbrück, Lennestadt, Germany
The Peperburg castle ruins stand on a forested hill at 293 meters above sea level, near the convergence of Veischede and Lenne rivers.
The noble lords of Gevore constructed this fortress during the 12th and 13th centuries, with the first written mention of a castle lord dating to 1141.
The archaeological site reveals four distinct construction phases, demonstrating medieval building techniques and architectural evolution through multiple reconstructions over time.
The remaining foundation walls of the southern section of the castle are accessible through walking paths in the Breiter Hagen nature reserve.
The castle met its destruction in 1355 during a feud between Count Engelbert III of Mark and Count Gottfried IV of Arnsberg.
