Schloss Menden, Medieval castle in Menden, Germany
The castle features a square tower called Rentschreiberturm with a half-timbered upper floor and an octagonal staircase from the sixteenth century.
Archbishop Walram of Cologne initiated the construction of Schloss Menden in the fourteenth century to replace the destroyed Rodenberg Castle.
The castle grounds maintain their role as an administrative center, hosting municipal events and gatherings for the local community throughout the year.
Visitors can explore the exterior architecture, including the modern glass extension that connects different sections of the historical building complex.
The castle transformed from a medieval fortress into a distillery in 1877, demonstrating the adaptability of historical structures to industrial needs.
