Very nice castle located above Heimbach.
The castle was first mentioned in 1106 as the property of the lords of Hengebach. The castle later fell to the Count of Jülich. In 1687 the castle fell victim to a fire. The restorations started in 1904 were destroyed in the Second World War and later resumed. The keep, the remains of the palace and the castle walls have been preserved from the original castle. The castle was rebuilt in 2009 and has been used as an art academy ever since.

The medieval castle, the beginnings of which date back to the 11th century, is enthroned above the Rur. It is considered a symbol of Heimbach and shapes the cityscape. The courtyard, the battlement and the castle keep are accessible all year round.

Nice place. There is even a small apartment in the tower that you can rent. Quaint ambience after a nice day of hiking at Lake Rursee. There is also a tarte flambee at the castle.
