Castle Eyneburg, Medieval castle in Hergenrath, Belgium

Castle Eyneburg rises from a hilltop near Hergenrath, featuring a round tower with a pointed spire and extensive protective walls surrounding the grounds.

The castle, first documented in 1260, served as a strategic stronghold to protect the Galmeiberg mines before suffering substantial damage from a fire in 1640.

Two preserved stone coats of arms from the 16th and 18th centuries demonstrate the succession of noble families who possessed the castle through generations.

Visitors can start their exploration from the Lidl parking area, following marked trails through the forest to reach viewpoints of the castle exterior.

The castle contains an extensive collection of antique furniture and art objects, reflecting its transformation into a luxurious residence by cloth manufacturer Theodor Nellessen in 1897.
