Burg Hohenscheid, Hill castle in Solingen, Germany
The castle stands 100 meters above the Wupper River in North Rhine-Westphalia, featuring three floors constructed with rubble masonry on a rectangular layout.
The first mention of Knight Hermann von Hohenscheid dates to 1238, while Luther von Wrede called Honscheidt took possession in the 15th century.
In summer 1955, director Herbert B. Fredersdorf used the castle as a setting for the fairy tale film Puss in Boots.
From April to October, visitors can access the Sunday afternoon cafe, though the rest of the building remains closed to the public.
The Rolling Stones stayed at the castle hotel during their three performances at the Grugahalle in Essen in 1973.
