Homburg Castle, Medieval château in Nümbrecht, Germany

Located at 260 meters altitude, Homburg Castle features a stone keep with a diameter of 12.5 meters and overlooks the Oberbergischer Kreis region.

The castle first appeared in records from 1276 when Gottfried I of Sayn transferred the structure to German King Rudolf of Habsburg for protection.

The Museum des Oberbergischen Kreises, established in 1926 by Hermann Conrad, presents permanent exhibitions about regional cultural and natural history.

The castle museum operates from Tuesday to Sunday, offering guided tours through the building, gardens, and the 2.8-kilometer nature trail with nine information stations.

Archaeological excavations in 1999 revealed that the castle's stone keep dates back to the 11th century, a hundred years earlier than previously documented.
