The outer bailey (of Hardenberg Castle) is a three-wing building complex in the shape of a horseshoe, as is often found in Rhenish moated castles. The two-storey buildings made of plastered quarry stone and half-timbered buildings once housed stables and the administration of the Hardenberg office. Wall anchors in the form of dates testify to the years of construction: 1680 and 1693. However, dendrochronological investigations have shown that the southern central building of the outer bailey was only built around 1720/30, and a central wall was only built between 1734 and 1744. Preserved foundations at the two southern corners show that two round towers once stood there. These were probably laid down in the 19th century.

Some of the events that previously took place in the castle could be moved to the renovated west wing of the outer bailey. There is a studio stage with up to 150 seats, which is operated by the Velbert cultural and event company. In addition to cabaret and cabaret, pieces from children's and youth theater are performed there. In addition, the outer bailey serves as a regular venue for concerts. There is also the option of renting rooms in the outer bailey for company events and private celebrations. The former commercial wing is a particularly popular place for weddings, as the Velbert registry office also carries out wedding ceremonies in two of the rooms there.

Wonderful bailey, where you can also take a nice break. There is also the possibility of a round of mini golf or a small snack at the kiosk.
