Holzheim Castle, Medieval castle in Langerwehe, Germany.
Holzheim Castle stands as a lowland fortress west of Heistern with a manor house, gate tower, and agricultural buildings surrounded by the Bovenberg Forest.
The castle originated in 1333 as a stronghold for vassals of the Duchy of Jülich, maintaining its position until the territory transferred to Prussian control.
The architectural elements of Holzheim Castle represent the evolution of defensive structures into agricultural estates through its manor house and gate tower construction.
The castle functions as an operational farm and equestrian center, allowing visitors to experience a combination of historical architecture and modern agricultural practices.
A small waterway called Holzheimer Graben flows along the eastern side of the castle before connecting to the Inde River at Hücheln.
