Hückeswagen Castle, Medieval castle in Hückeswagen, Germany.
The stone castle stands on a mountain spur, featuring a two-story tower known as Schelmenturm and overlooks the surrounding Oberbergische region from its elevated position.
First documented in 1189, the castle served as the residence of the Counts of Hückeswagen until 1260 when they sold the county to the Counts of Berg.
The castle currently houses a local history museum that presents exhibits about the region's development through medieval and industrial periods.
Visitors can reach the castle grounds through the Marktstrasse from the old town, with the fortified castle square accessible via the Auf'm Schloß road.
A historical well from 2007 and adjacent rose garden complement the castle grounds, while the Paulus Church stands next to the medieval structure.
