Hardenberg Castle is a baroque former moated castle in the Neviges district of the city of Velbert. It is located in the valley of the Hardenberger Bach, just north of the center of Neviges, at the narrowest point of the stream valley, and dates back to a new foundation by the von Gevertshagen family at the end of the 15th century. It replaced the Hardenberg Castle, which had probably become dilapidated and whose remains can be found about 630 meters southwest of the castle.

Rebuilt to its current form at the end of the 17th century, it had to be temporarily evacuated and closed to the public in 2003 for safety reasons. Renovation work, which began in 2005, has largely been completed (as of 2022). The outer castle buildings are used for cultural purposes.

From here it is not far to the Verbert-Neviges S-Bahn stop, which is a good starting or ending point for a hike on the Bergischer Weg.

This castle rounds off the beautiful hike perfectly. Just great.

The castle is currently barely visible from the path.
