Burg Herstelle, Medieval castle in Beverungen, Germany

Burg Herstelle is a castle situated on a sandstone plateau overlooking the Weser River in Beverungen. The structure displays neogothic architectural features including a decorative portal and a round tower with battlements, while incorporating remains of older medieval foundations.

Herstelle was first mentioned in 1292 as a possession of the Bishop of Paderborn. In 1464 Hessian soldiers burned the castle and village during the Hesse-Paderborn feud; it was rebuilt by the end of the 15th century. After decay around 1800, Fernandine Heereman von Zuydtwyck acquired the site in 1823 and had architect Johann Claudius von Lassaulx build a new castle from 1825 to 1832.

The castle's great hall occasionally serves as a civil wedding room for the Beverungen registry office. Since the Hörning family bought the site in 2007, the grounds have gradually been opened more to the public. In the 19th century the castle hosted artists and scholars, among them Annette von Droste-Hülshoff and the Brothers Grimm.

The castle has been opened to the public gradually since the Hörning family bought it in 2007. The large hall occasionally serves as a wedding room for the Beverungen registry office, so interior access depends on such events. The site is privately owned; the Karlstein rock table stands a few hundred metres away on a cliff above the Weser.

The Karlstein, a rock ledge a few hundred metres from the castle above the Weser, was created in 1835 during blasting for the road that is now the B83. After 1835 Westphalia's oldest cross stone, often called the Bonifatius cross, was moved there and given the year 797; its origin is not recorded.
