Burg Alpen, Medieval castle in Alpen, Germany.
Burg Alpen stands as a tower hill castle with defensive water moats and two outer bailey structures in North Rhine-Westphalia.
The castle, first documented around 1200 under Heinrich von Alpen ownership, remained inhabited until structural damage from an earthquake in 1758.
During the medieval period, the castle represented the power center of lower nobility, reflecting the social hierarchies of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The remains of the castle mound intersect with Burgstrasse street, while the original building materials were repurposed for road construction in 1809.
Amalia von Neuenahr-Alpen, Countess of Limburg, was born in this castle in 1539 as daughter of Gumprecht II von Neuenahr-Alpen.
