Between 1137 and 1140 Hamborn was donated to the cathedral chapter of Paderborn (dating of the burned deed of donation according to the Westphalia charter). The result is the obedience Hamborn. The origins of the castle go back to two estates, which were bought in the middle of the 19th century by the von Hartmann family and combined into a manor.

      Hamborn Castle offers a nice start for hikes in the surrounding area and afterwards you can stop in the cafe and enjoy the delicious cake in picture quality.

        A really good café invites you to take a break. There is also a small shop with organic products (normal opening times).
