Adolphsburg Castle was built between 1673 and 1681 as a baroque moated castle for Johann Adolph von Fürstenberg. The builder held numerous Catholic religious offices, including provost in Paderborn and canon in Münster. He also served in the diplomatic service. Later, the castle was only occasionally used as a residence and hunting lodge. From 1919, schools were housed here. After 1956, the castle stood empty for decades and fell into disrepair. In 1984, extensive restoration work began and it was converted into a condominium complex.

The cellar castle was first mentioned in 1227: Widukind I. von Wittgenstein and Battenberg received the cellar castle from Landgrave Heinrich Rasphe IV. The castle has been uninhabited since 1463, at times food was stored. Described as intact in the village hall book of the Upper Principality of Marburg in 1577. After the castle was abandoned in the following centuries, the basement castle was demolished. The valuable building material was used to build houses, walls and streets in Battenberg. The restored, 17 meter high castle hill tower, remains of the enclosing wall and the moat have been preserved.

From here you have many opportunities to hike in all directions. Circular routes are also possible depending on the conditions
