オーバーハウゼンの洞窟・トップ6

From this location, the castle was located approximately 100 meters into the forest below the railway tracks. A family named itself after the castle appears in 1220, while the castle itself is explicitly mentioned in 1240. The structural development of the castle complex, which was finally demolished at the end of the 18th century, is unclear. When Oberhausen House was demolished in 1791 due to dilapidation, only stones from the foundations and firewalls were removed from the abandoned Oberhausen moated castle for further construction work. Early modern written sources only mention individual components or buildings of the moated castle. The "Upper House" housed the residential building, a gatehouse with a drawbridge, and the bakehouse. The Niederpl(atz square housed a brewery, barn, and stables for the farm. (Jens Friedhoff) I stole the data and information from here: https://www.ebidat.de/cgi-bin/ebidat.pl?id=4970

The RevierRoute Grubenfahrt now takes us to the medieval Vondern Castle in Oberhausen. This moated castle was first mentioned in documents in 1266. Through the gate of the stately 16th century outer bailey with its corner towers you reach the castle courtyard. This is where the manor house and the adjacent coach house are hidden.

Interesting piece of art. I think it's only been there for 1-2 years.

nice ambience for open air or a stop

The knight stands decoratively on the wall in front of Vondern Castle. Its two-part complex, consisting of a manor house and a two-winged outer bailey, used to be a moated castle, but its moats are now all silted up. Its origins go back to the 12th century.
