Schloss Oedenthal is a manor house in the northwestern area of Lüdenscheid. It is located on a promontory above the confluence of Grebbecke and Linnepe, a tributary of the Volme. Starting from the B 54, a road leads past the property towards Heerwiese / Brockhauser level.

At the old mill in Oedenthal one believes time has stood still. Unfortunately, the mill wheel has not been running for several years and only serves as a plant box. Monument protection would be desirable here.

"...Where Linnepe and Grebbecke flow together on the northern edge of the Lüdenscheider Mulde, a mountain promontory rises high. A mansion, Oedenthal Castle, sits enthroned on it. The property was first mentioned as Odincdala as early as 1160. It must have originally been a moated castle, complete with a drawbridge. But unfortunately nothing of this can be seen today, because a fire destroyed the moated castle in 1865. Only then were the buildings that you can still see here today built.

The fact that the old foundations were reused can be easily seen from the irregular design. A massive tower is accompanied by two wings of different heights on the right and left. Remarkable details of Oedenthal Castle are the Tudor arch facing the street and all sorts of decorative elements on the facades, which can also be attributed to the Tudor style. If you are interested in this architectural style, you could also pay a visit to Hertreiben Castle near Arnsberg, which bears a clear similarity to Oedenthal Castle.

The coat of arms of the von Holtzbrinck family can also be found on the aforementioned Tudor arch. In 1725 Georg Hermann von Holtzbrinck bought the castle at an auction. It remained in the family's possession for around 200 years before the property came into private ownership in 1931..."
