    Herrnstein Castle is a hilltop castle in the Winterscheid district of the municipality of Ruppichteroth. The castle goes back to a simple fortified house built around 1300, which was owned by the Lords vam Steyne (vom Stein). The "huys zome Steyne" was mentioned for the first time in a contract dated November 15, 1370, according to which Johann von Stein received a fief from Count Wilhelm II. Von Berg. The castle then developed into a Rhenish hillside castle through multiple modifications and additions. Significant parts of the complex were dismantled and rebuilt around 1800. Further construction work up to the 19th century gave it its current appearance.
