Schloss Werl, Medieval castle ruins in Werl, Germany
The stone walls of Schloss Werl reveal a defensive structure with four corner towers and a central courtyard measuring 50 meters on each side.
Construction of Schloss Werl began in 1519 under Archbishop Hermann V of Cologne, serving as a residence for visiting archbishops until 1803.
The Knights' Hall, situated in the tower, contains original shooting slots and a restored fireplace from 1840, representing medieval military architecture.
Visitors can enter the ground-level circular room of the Knights' Hall, which measures 8.7 meters in diameter and sits above a supply shaft.
The stones from the demolished sections of Schloss Werl in 1825 were used to pave a road leading to the city of Hamm.
