Burg Nothberg, Medieval castle ruin in Eschweiler, Germany.

The rectangular structure measures 28 by 18 meters and features four round corner towers connected by high walls surrounding a central courtyard.

Edmund von Engelsdorf received the castle from Duke Wilhelm II of Jülich in 1361, marking the first documented ownership of the fortress.

The castle incorporates Italian Renaissance architectural elements from the 16th century, including columns and portals designed by Alessandro Pasqualini.

The castle ruins stand near Hüchelner Strasse 3 in Eschweiler, accessible by regional train to Eschweiler-Nothberg station from Aachen central station.

In 1829, one-third of the castle's masonry was sold and dismantled, contributing to its current state as a preserved ruin.
