Motte Aldeberg, Medieval castle ruins in Wegberg, Germany.
The castle complex features a large outer bailey and stands on a promontory overlooking the wetland areas of Helpenstein creek in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Built during the late 12th century, this manor managed local disputes, provided tax exemptions, and supported horse breeding operations until the early 15th century.
The castle grounds generated numerous folk stories about werewolves and brownies, while the hill became associated with religious ceremonies in local traditions.
Multiple hiking trails connect to the castle site, including the castle loop from Büch and the Dalheimer Mühle loop from Arsbeck through protected natural areas.
The archaeological site ranks among the largest motte-type castles in Europe, positioned between the communities of Arsbeck and Rödgen in the Helpensteiner Bachtal region.
