Burg Monterberg, Medieval castle ruins in Kalkar, Germany.
The former castle site sits within a fenced forest area at the end of Monreberg street, with no remaining visible walls or structures.
Built around 1260 by the Counts of Cleves, the castle served as one of their main residences alongside the Schwanenburg in Cleves.
In 1327, Count Dietrich IX of Cleves established a Marian foundation in the outer bailey of Monterberg, which relocated to Cleves in 1341.
The site contains archaeological evidence from various periods, including a belt fitting from the 5th century and a gold coin from the 7th century.
Marie of Burgundy retired to this castle in 1448, making it a residence for widowed countesses of Cleves until its final demolition in 1624.
