Around 1133, Burg Castle was built by Count Adolf II and expanded into the Hofburg in 1218 by Count Engelbert II.

Hiking

After Engelbert's body was denied entry into the ancestral castle of the man murdered the previous day on November 8, 1225, a relic from his rib was permitted to be brought in unhindered on November 8, 2025, for a memorial service as part of an Engelbert pilgrimage. A service was held at the foot of the monument in honor of the Imperial Chancellor, Archbishop of Cologne, and Count of Berg, who had been canonized by the people.
