Hohenlimburg Castle is the only hilltop castle in Westphalia that has largely been preserved in its original medieval condition. Located on the Schlossberg of Hohenlimburg, the ensemble of town and palace is also called the Westphalian Heidelberg because of its picturesque location. In 1975 the city of Hohenlimburg was incorporated into the city of Hagen. The complex dates back to the 13th century.
