Schloss Arnsberg, Medieval castle ruins on Schlossberg hill in Arnsberg, Germany.
The former palace stands at 256 meters above sea level, featuring remaining structures that demonstrate Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements.
The construction began around 1100 as the residence of the counts of Werl-Arnsberg until 1368, when it became an administrative center for Cologne.
The castle grounds host an annual ruins festival that connects visitors with regional medieval traditions and local heritage preservation initiatives.
Visitors can explore the castle ruins within a landscape park setting, offering views across the Ruhr River and surrounding wooded mountains.
Archaeological excavations in 2023 uncovered early medieval wall structures that reveal construction phases predating the documented castle modifications.
