The castle was Wildenburg Palace from 1239-1418 administrative seat of the Free Imperial Rule Wildenburg and served to secure the old Hileweg (Hellweg), which connected Essen with the Wetterau. Later part of the Eisenstraße (Siegen-Gummersbach-Wuppertal)
The castle is privately owned by those of Hatzfeld who restored the remains in the 80s. Unfortunately, you can only enter the area of the outer bailey, in the castle itself is an extension of the Hatzfeld forester's house.translated by•June 7, 2020
