Husterknupp, Medieval castle ruins in Grevenbroich, Germany.
The archaeological site contains remains of a fortified manor that transformed into a feudal castle with a central mound and outer bailey.
Built by the Counts of Hochstaden in the 10th century, the castle met its end in 1192 during a conflict with the Archbishop of Cologne.
The excavated artifacts and structural elements from Husterknupp reveal the social hierarchy and living conditions of medieval German nobility.
Located at coordinates 51.0397° N and 6.55917° E, the site underwent extensive archaeological research between 1934 and 1951.
The castle's development from wooden structures to stone fortifications mirrors the evolution of medieval architecture in the Rhineland region.
