The castle Hohenlimburg is a former hill castle on the so-called Schlossberg in the Hagen district Hohenlimburg in North Rhine-Westphalia.

The complex dates back to the 13th century. Until 1807/08, the castle was the political center and administrative center of the then existing county Limburg. Significant renovations took place in the middle of the 16th century and in the first half of the 18th century, when the castle was a seat of the Counts of Bentheim-Tecklenburg. After 1816/17 until about 1830, the castle served the prince as the main residence; she was then relocated to Rheda Castle, which is still the residence of the Prince of Bentheim-Tecklenburg-Rheda; Castle Hohenlimburg is also in his possession and houses the German Cold Rolling Museum.

The castle Hohenlimburg is one of the few still preserved in the original building form hill forts in Westphalia. It is located at the entrance to the Lennetal, which has more castles and noble seats on its way to the Sauerland. The nearest intact preserved hill castle on the Lenne, but in a style of historicism until 1914 renewed building form, is the castle Altena.

Unfortunately, the gate, which leads to the castle, usually closed our thanks to the Frühstenhaus👽😟
