Haus Groß-Schonebeck, Medieval castle in Nottuln, Germany

The castle features a rectangular structure with a stair tower, surrounded by extensive moats and defensive walls in the Westphalian architectural style.

The von Schonebeck brothers sold the castle to Bishop Otto von Hoya in 1398, who transformed it into an administrative building for the court district.

The castle grounds contain remnants of a former ring-ditch system from the early Middle Ages, measuring 425 meters in diameter.

Visitors can observe the castle from nearby hiking and cycling paths, as the property remains under private ownership of the Duke of Croy.

The building includes a two-story court structure from the 16th century, with a historical courtroom on the upper floor and a prison cell below.
