Burg Hengebach, Medieval castle in Heimbach, Germany
Hengebach Castle rises on a 180-meter-long greywacke rock formation, reaching heights of 40 meters above the Eifel landscape.
The castle construction started in the 11th century and served as a residence for the rulers who inherited the County of Jülich in 1207.
Since 2009, the castle functions as the International Art Academy of Heimbach, offering educational programs within its historical walls.
The castle grounds remain open every day throughout the year, with multiple parking spaces available within 50 meters of the main entrance.
The castle's elevated position provides views across two core sections of the Eifel National Park and the town of Heimbach below.
