Fantastically beautiful castle. The mega highlight of this tour stage for me.

<< VOLPERHAUSEN CASTLE >> "The complex, first mentioned in 1462, is an impressive building in the middle of a forest. It should be mentioned here that the manor house and its outbuildings represent a place of their own; namely "Volperhausen Castle". This term means the place. However, the Building complex called this way; some also call it “Volperhausen Castle”. After the complex was first mentioned by name in 1462, it was owned by the Counts of Hatzfeld and served as an outpost of the nearby Crottorf Castle. The first facility was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. It was not rebuilt until more than 200 years later in 1682. In the 20th century there were several renovation works so that the castle could be used as a private residence. It still fulfills this benefit today; only parts of the building and grounds can be visited today. In the nearby town of Volperhausen there is also a small fortress which is often referred to as Volperhausen Castle or a “water castle”. However, this is only about the Burghaus Volperhausen. A quarry stone building that is well preserved today; from around the same time as Volperhausen Castle. In addition to the actual manor house, the complex includes a converted horse stable, some garages and a chapel, which is integrated into the mansion and is used by the residents of nearby towns. Events such as an Easter festival also often take place on the extensive grounds with its ponds and park elements. The castle therefore represents an important cultural place and also a meeting place for the neighboring towns." https://lab42.architektur.uni-siegen.de/j3/index.php/teilsuebersicht/538-burg-volperhausen?start=1 https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Volperhausen

Volperhausen Castle was first mentioned in 1462, the Oberbergisches Land Tourist Association speaks on its website of the beginning of the 16th century. The Niederungsburg had a rectangular floor plan with a stair tower attached to one of the long sides. This first facility was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War. Reconstruction took place in 1682. In the 20th century, renovation work was carried out several times. The castle was originally owned by the Counts of Hatzfeld, but later changed hands several times. It used to be an outpost of Castle Crottorf. Today the castle building consists of a three-storey quarry stone building with a slender stair tower. The moat that exists today, which was also used by the earlier mill next to the castle house, still indicates the type of moated castle. Today there is a house on the foundations of the mill. The castle is privately owned and can therefore only be viewed from the outside. Source: Wikipedia

The castle courtyard can be visited at any time. There is a game shop at the entrance to the castle courtyard.

The castle, first mentioned in a document in 1255, is enthroned on a rock above the mouth of the Elbbach in the Sieg. It is privately owned, so you can only admire it from the outside. The quarry stone and brick buildings have slate roofs and the upper floors are partially clad in slate. Very impressive and definitely worth seeing.

Schönstein Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1255. It is privately owned by the Hatzfeldt-Dönhoff family. The area is private property and should not be driven on!
