Volperhausen Castle, Medieval castle in Morsbach, Germany.

The rectangular three-story castle features quarry stone walls under a steep roof with a slender stair tower on the courtyard side.

Constructed in 1462, Volperhausen Castle experienced destruction during the Thirty Years War before Count Sebastian von Hatzfeld restored it in 1682.

The castle represents the architectural traditions of North Rhine-Westphalia through its stone construction methods and defensive design elements.

While the castle remains a private residence, visitors can observe its exterior structure from designated viewing points in Morsbach.

A water mill once operated near the castle, using the moat system, with its foundation stones still visible beside a modern house.
