Burg Stromberg, Medieval castle ruins in Oelde, Germany.

The castle stands on a hill within the Beckum Mountains, featuring remaining walls, towers, and a Gothic cross church built in 1344.

First documented in 1177, the castle belonged to the Bishop of Münster and protected the diocese borders until its partial demolition in 1780.

The Gothic Cross Church within the castle walls continues to hold religious significance as a place of worship for the Holy Cross of Stromberg.

Visitors can access the castle grounds through a tower entrance and explore three courtyards containing various medieval architectural elements.

This fortification is the only hilltop castle in the entire Münsterland region, with defensive walls extending 745 meters in length.
