Schloss Schellenstein, Medieval château in Olsberg, Germany
The stone château stands on elevated ground, featuring traditional architectural elements with its characteristic fortress-like appearance and regional building style.
First documented in 1270, the château changed ownership multiple times, passing through noble families including the Wrede, Padberg, and Brabeck lineages.
In 1904, Father Heinrich Sommer established the Josefs-Gesellschaft organization within the château walls, marking a shift in the building's social purpose.
The château divides into multiple privately owned sections following renovations and sales, with visitors permitted to view the exterior architecture.
The structure maintains its original medieval defensive features while incorporating modifications from different centuries, reflecting architectural evolution through time.
