Klusenstein Castle, Medieval castle in Hemer, Germany
The stone fortress stands on a 60-meter limestone cliff above the Hönne river valley, controlling a narrow passage through the valley.
Gerhard of Plettenberg constructed the castle in 1353 as a border fortification between the territories of Mark, Cologne, and Arnsberg.
The castle structure includes a timber-framed barn from 1749, which was used as a cattle house and underwent restoration for its 650th anniversary.
The castle property belongs to Rheinkalk company, with a railroad line connecting Balve and Menden running directly beneath its foundation since 1912.
A 51-meter-long cave system extends beneath the castle, with local tales suggesting the existence of a hidden escape route through the rocks.
