Rheindorfer Burg, Medieval castle in Walberberg, Germany.
Rheindorfer Burg is a medieval castle located at the northern edge of Walberberg in North Rhine-Westphalia, featuring a tower dating to the 11th century. The building now functions as a hotel and conference center with modern facilities for meetings and overnight stays.
The site was first documented in 1140 as the residence of Knight Christian von Rinchedorp and changed hands multiple times before the Jesuits acquired it in 1683. In 1926 the Dominican Order established a monastery with a college for philosophy and theology on the grounds.
The place shapes community life today through regular events and gatherings held in its historic rooms. Visitors can directly sense its importance to the region by observing how people use and engage with the space.
The building is accessible to visitors interested in accommodations or conference facilities, and also offers spaces for events. Access is possible by car or public transport, and the location in Walberberg provides convenient access to the surrounding area.
A former chapel within the castle grounds now serves as an official civil registry office for marriage ceremonies. This unexpected use preserves the site's role in marking important moments in people's lives.
