Lenhausen Castle, Water castle in Finnentrop, Germany

The Lenhausen Castle stands on elevated ground with defensive water features surrounding its perimeter, displaying traditional Germanic fortification architecture of North Rhine-Westphalia.

First documented in 1285, the castle served as the residence of the noble Lenhausen family before undergoing substantial modifications during the seventeenth century.

The castle maintains its status as an architectural heritage monument, representing the evolution of German defensive structures into residential palaces over centuries.

While the castle remains privately inhabited, visitors can observe its exterior architecture and explore the surrounding hiking trails of Naturpark Sauerland-Rothaargebirge.

The castle includes elements of Baroque ceiling painting, documented in the German national register of historical ceiling artworks from this period.
