Burg Stolberg, Medieval castle in Stolberg, Germany
The castle stands on a hill with steep drops on three sides, forming a prominent silhouette against the North Rhine-Westphalia landscape.
Built in the 12th century and reconstructed in 1450, the castle underwent major transformations between 1888 and 1909 under industrialist Moritz Kraus's direction.
The knight's hall hosts concerts while the Museum in the Torburg presents exhibitions about local craftsmanship and industrial development through the centuries.
Visitors can explore the castle from Tuesday to Sunday during afternoon hours between October 1st and March 31st at Oberer Burghof.
The former vaulted cellar now serves as a restaurant where guests can dine surrounded by centuries-old stone walls.

North Rhine-Westphalia contains many sites that demonstrate the historical and cultural richness of this German region. Millennia-old geological formations, Roman relics, medieval fortresses, and industrial era monuments reveal different aspects of the regional heritage. These destinations include the Zollverein coal mine industrial complex in Essen, a UNESCO World Heritage site that chronicles the history of the Ruhr area, and the archaeological park in Xanten featuring reconstructions of the Roman city Colonia Ulpia Traiana. The Augustusburg and Falkenlust castles in Brühl showcase 18th-century Rococo architecture, while the rock formations of Externsteine near Horn-Bad Meinberg highlight the geological and spiritual development of the region. Each site offers a unique insight into the history of North Rhine-Westphalia and warrants careful exploration.
