Waldenburg, Castle ruin in Attendorn, Germany
The Waldenburg castle stands on a hill near Attendorn, overlooking the Biggetal valley in the Sauerland region of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The original fortress, constructed in the 12th century, protected important trade routes in southern Westphalia until severe damage during the Thirty Years War.
The medieval structure represents the architectural traditions of North Rhine-Westphalia, earning recognition as both a heritage monument and archaeological site.
The castle ruins require a 10-minute uphill walk through forested paths, with limited accessibility during winter months due to weather conditions.
The castle changed ownership between regional noble families, including the Lords of Schnellenberg, before declining after the von Fürstenberg family acquired nearby Schnellenberg Castle.
