Schloss Hinnenburg, Medieval castle in Brakel, Germany
The three-winged castle stands on a hilltop at 282 meters, featuring mansard roofs and a round tower on its southern corner surrounding a rectangular courtyard.
First documented in 1237 as the residence of Knight Berthold von Brakel, the castle passed to the Asseburg family through inheritance at the end of the 13th century.
The interior rooms contain detailed Rococo stucco decorations, reflecting the architectural preferences and craftsmanship of the 18th-century nobility in Westphalia.
The castle maintains one of Westphalia's largest nobility archives, accessible for research through the Westphalian Archive Office in Münster upon request.
The castle grounds include an octagonal Byzantine chapel built in 1658, serving as a mausoleum for the noble family members.
