The castle is situated in a quiet wooded area above August-Thyssen-Straße. It was built in 1276 by Count Adolf V of Berg to fortify the Ruhr crossing. Today, the castle and the adjacent new building belong to the ThyssenKrupp Group and are used as a training center.

The almost 900-year-old manor house Haus Anger is one of the oldest buildings in the Angertal. While this property was neglected for a long time and was only extensively renovated and converted to residential use a few years ago, the neighboring mill building was tastefully restored in the 1980s.

Around 1240, the Neue Isenburg, named after the Isenburg in Hattingen, was built above the Ruhr by Count Dietrich von Altena-Isenberg. Only 48 years later it was destroyed again. Its ruins were only excavated again at the beginning of the last century. The Neue Isenburg ruins are a side view of the BaldeneySteig.

Just take a little break

This small castle is located between the Aprather Mühle and the further junction of the panorama cycle path.

Unfortunately, everything is a bit dilapidated - but overall an impressive facility.

Partly quite hilly hiking trail - mostly above the Baldeneysees - with many beautiful vantage points and various rest stops.

The ensemble of buildings known as Schloss Aprath goes back to the core of the modern palace building that was built by Baron Johann Abraham Friedrich von Syberg zu Aprath in 1722 near the medieval Aprath Castle, a protective and defensive complex inhabited by the local landed gentry since the High Middle Ages . Over the years, the buildings have been remodeled and expanded several times. The appearance after the conversion by Carl Rumpff in the 19th century shaped the memory of the property. Today the entire palace complex has disappeared. Only the remnants of the medieval fortifications located directly on the state road 74, which are sometimes called Aprath Castle, have been preserved.
