Burg Vlatten, Medieval castle in Heimbach, Germany
Located at the foot of Lützenberg, Burg Vlatten stands as a stone fortress featuring a distinctive tower from the 19th century near the Vlatten Bach.
The castle originates from the 14th century when it served as a water castle for the noble family of Vlatten within the Duchy of Jülich-Berg.
The castle's architecture represents the evolution of defensive structures in North Rhine-Westphalia, with modifications reflecting different historical periods and needs.
Visitors can access the castle grounds through the parking facilities on Alte Burgstraße and combine their visit with the 3.4-kilometer Vlatten round walk.
The structure maintains its original position along the Vlatten Bach, where copper ore processing mills operated until the 19th century.
