Burg Hainchan, Medieval castle in Netphen, Germany
Burg Hainchan stands with its remaining fortifications at the edge of Netphen, surrounded by two water-filled moats and defensive structures from different periods.
The castle received its first written mention in 1290 and belonged to the noble family vom Hain before being sold to Count Heinrich I of Nassau-Siegen in 1313.
The structure represents the architectural traditions of North Rhine-Westphalia's defensive buildings, featuring four corner towers and a vaulted medieval cellar.
The castle grounds connect to hiking trails in the surrounding area, with designated paths leading visitors through the historical fortifications and defensive systems.
The restoration project in 1976 transformed this medieval structure into a facility operated by Institut Lebenshilfe, giving it new purpose in modern times.
