Haus Remberg

Haus Remberg is a former water castle in the Huckingen district, located in a flat landscape that was once marshy with scattered watercourses. The site now hosts the Remberger Hof, a riding school built on the historical grounds.

The castle was first documented in 1310 as the property of a knight connected to the Counts of Berg. It was destroyed in 1405 when forces from Cologne attacked it following raids on merchant trade routes by its lords.

The name comes from its original use as a crossing point where farmers guided their cattle herds to pasture lands. Walking through the grounds today still carries traces of this rural past.

The location is easily accessible on foot and sits open within the landscape, so visitors can explore the grounds without barriers. Arriving earlier in the day helps you avoid activity around the active riding facilities.

The Angerbach stream that once surrounded the castle is barely visible in the landscape today, having been largely diverted or buried underground. Only careful observers can spot traces of this former waterway that was crucial to the castle's defense.
