Haus Hagenbeck, Castle ruins in Dorsten, Germany

The stone castle complex features water fortification elements, with remaining structures from the 17th and 18th centuries near the Lippe River.

First documented in 1217, the castle changed ownership multiple times, including the von Hagenbeck family, von Heyden family, and Baron Alexander von Velen.

The castle served as a strategic point between territories and included a crossing point over the Lippe River, connecting different regional communities.

The property remains in private ownership and visitors must observe posted signs and restrictions when approaching the historical site.

Archaeological excavations at the site revealed Roman bricks and various artifacts, indicating continuous settlement activity spanning multiple centuries.
