Limberg Castle looks back on a long and eventful history. It was probably founded in Widukind's time and was owned by the Bishop of Minden 1000 years ago. Limberg Castle has only been officially documented since 1319 and was owned by the Counts of Ravensberg and was one of the four border castles in the Ravensberg region, of which the Sparrenburg in Bielefeld is probably the most famous. The count's house died out in 1346, but the county of Ravensberg remained for a long time under the heirs of the House of Jülich-Berg. The castle changed hands several times, and their names are often found in the region (von dem Bussche, Schloen, Gesmold or Ledebur). Of course, there were also some border disputes. The castle, which has since fallen into disrepair, was approved for demolition in 1695, so that the foundations can still be seen today. Only the keep was preserved and was actually used as a prison for some time. Today, it is the keep that is the most striking feature of the ruins of Limberg Castle. If you like, you can borrow a key from the tourist information office. Despite the fact that most of the castle has disappeared, they really make every effort to present the castle ruins in the best possible way. The grounds are not only extremely well maintained, but are also well signposted. The castle's eventful history alone is described on 4 information boards. There is also further information on the various parts of the building. 2 very interesting audio contributions can also be accessed via QR code! And all of this in a comfortable rest area! There are many castle ruins in this region, but for me, Limberg Castle is always one of the most beautiful due to its state of preservation and atmosphere! Just relax and take in the long history of the castle. PS: In the guest house you can see a model of the castle complex, showing how it is supposed to have looked in its full size.

According to legend, the name is based on a sad story that is related to Limburg opposite. According to this, there was also a castle here on the Nonnenstein belonging to the Count of Rieneck. His daughter, Hildburga, was in love with the impoverished Prince of Limburg, but her father was looking for a better groom. He organized a tournament in which the Prince of Limburg also took part in disguise. When he won, the Count was so angry that he challenged him to a duel. The two rode at each other and collided with their lances so badly that both died. In her grief, Hildburga founded a monastery on the Nonnenstein and became the first abbess. But when she died, the nuns became more and more greedy. The Rödinghausen people joined forces and stormed the monastery and tore it down. They left the tower standing as a warning. Well, at least the last part of the legend can be refuted, because the Nonnenstein was only built in 1897. It was modernized and slightly raised, but unfortunately that is hardly enough to let your gaze wander into the distance. The Nonnenstein is still worth a visit, even if only for the lovely rest areas here and the audio contribution via QR code. In the neighborhood of the Nonnenstein there is also the Bismarck fire column, which offers a dry shelter.

The ruins are part of a formerly very large castle complex, the origins of which date back to the 13th century. Today there is a well-kept rest area and some information boards here. You can get married in the tower at a civil ceremony, but you can also enter it with the key from the tourist information office.

The tower is unfortunately too low again in 2021 due to the tall trees in the meantime, despite the addition of storeys. The all-round view is no longer possible.

The Babilonie is a La Tène-temporal rampart at a height of 255.6 m on the northern edge of a crest of the Wiehengebirge above the Lübbeck district of Obermehnen in the district of Minden-Lübbecke, North Rhine-Westphalia (Germany). Germanic means baben im lon up in the forest. Apart from ramparts and depressions in the earth, as well as the memorial reminiscent of the archaeologist Friedrich Langewiesche, nothing has been preserved from the complex. A visit is definitely worth it
