Rüdenburg Arnsberg, Medieval spur castle in Arnsberg, Germany.
The castle ruins stand on a 303-meter high hill called Römberg, surrounded by a ring wall stretching 300 meters in length.
Graf Bernhard II von Werl constructed the fortress between 1050 and 1062, establishing it as a strategic control point for trade routes from Rhine to Arnsberg.
The castle complex included a chapel with a rectangular choir and served as residence for the noble Rüdenberg family, connected through marriage to Arnsberg counts.
The ruins cover 0.42 hectares and feature preserved sections of the original defensive walls, main tower foundations, and remnants of the castle chapel.
The castle structure was divided into two sections by a cross wall, with the western area containing a main tower measuring 9.5 by 8.3 meters.
