Heiligenhoven Castle, Medieval château in Lindlar, Germany

The castle features a water-surrounded mansion constructed between 1758 and 1760, displaying elements of pre-castle architectural design within its structure.

First documented in 1363, the castle changed ownership through centuries, from Johann van Eyckelinckhoven to Wilhelm von Steinrod and Adolf Schenck by Niddegen.

The structure carries the name Heiligenhoven, derived from 'inghoven', reflecting the Germanic linguistic heritage meaning 'the house on the slope'.

The Adam's Stegerwald endowment manages the castle grounds, which include a recreational area and an English-style landscape park with a pond.

Following a fire in 1973, the mansion underwent reconstruction in neobaroque style, incorporating architectural elements from different historical periods.
