    First mentioned in a document in 1449 with a symon from Wulperhusen. Today you can still admire the castle house in the town center from the medieval heyday. A little outside is the manor house (private property with no opportunity to visit, a shame). 🏰🏘️🦌

    Volperhausen Castle was first mentioned in 1462, the Oberbergisches Land Tourist Association speaks on its website of the beginning of the 16th century. The Niederungsburg had a rectangular floor plan with a stair tower attached to one of the long sides. This first facility was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. Reconstruction took place in 1682. In the 20th century, renovation work was carried out several times.

    The castle was originally owned by the Counts of Hatzfeld, but later changed hands several times. It used to be an outpost of Castle Crottorf.

    The castle house was probably built at the beginning of the 16th century. After being damaged, it was rebuilt in 1682 and sold to the Counts in Spee in 1723. Visits are not possible.
