Burg Schnellenberg, Medieval castle in Attendorn, Germany

The castle stands on a hilltop with massive gateways, stone bridges, and high vaulted ceilings that exemplify German medieval construction techniques.

Archbishop Engelbert von Berg of Cologne established the castle in 1222 to protect a significant trading route through the Sauerland region.

The castle interior features ornate stuccoed beamed ceilings and numerous family coats of arms displayed throughout the historical structure.

The castle functions as a four-star hotel with modern amenities, including conference facilities for up to 80 people and a restaurant serving international dishes.

A former castle brewery has been transformed into a bar area where guests can examine medieval architectural details while enjoying refreshments.
