Schloss Werdringen

Schloss Werdringen is a medieval water castle in Hagen-Nord surrounded by moats and water features. The building combines fortress walls and towers with residential spaces added later and now functions as a museum.

The castle originated in the medieval period as a defensive fortification and was later converted into a residential manor. Over the centuries, the structure was adapted to new needs until it eventually became a museum building.

The castle displays collections about the history of the Hagen region and its inhabitants. Visitors gain insight into the everyday life of earlier generations through the exhibited objects and rooms.

The castle is easily accessible from central Hagen and has parking near the main entrance. Visitors should wear appropriate clothing as some pathways around the grounds are outdoors and interior spaces can be cool.

The water moats surrounding the castle were originally built for protection against attacks but today also serve as a natural habitat for waterfowl and fish. This ecological use makes the visit a place where history and nature meet.
