Haus Borg

Haus Borg consists of three islands connected by bridges, featuring a mansion with baroque elements and a pavilion at its northeast corner.

First mentioned in 1209, the château belonged to the lords of Rinkerode before passing to the Volmarstein family in 1324 through marriage.

The château displays a coat of arms with three gold-seeded red roses on a blue background, representing the noble lineage of its inhabitants.

The privately owned water castle can be observed from surrounding roads, with the eastern wing constructed in brick and ashlar elements.

Archaeological excavations in 1982 revealed foundations of earlier structures and a pile foundation from a 19th-century tower in the moat.
