Burg Limberg, Medieval castle in Preußisch Oldendorf, Germany
The stone castle sits on the 190-meter-high Limberg hill, featuring a restored twelve-meter-high square tower and defensive structures with remaining walls.
Built in the 13th century by the Bishop of Minden, the castle marked the border between the bishoprics of Minden and Osnabrück until 1319.
The castle grounds include a 600-year-old lime tree that served as a traditional site for regional court proceedings known as Gogericht.
Visitors can access the restored bergfried tower and explore the preserved ruins, defensive structures, and ancient moat surrounding the castle grounds.
The castle garrison maintained 30 soldiers during wartime until 1647, when Frederick I of Prussia later recommended its demolition in 1695.
