Fürstenberg Castle (Höingen)
Ense, Germany, Germany
Fürstenberg Castle in Höingen near Ense, Germany, is a ruined medieval hilltop fortress built before 1295 by the Archbishop of Cologne on a strategic high point above the Ruhr River, marking the border with the County of Arnsberg in the Duchy of Westphalia.
First held by Imperial Knight Hermann of Fürstenberg—origin of the local noble house—the site featured an inner bailey on "Richters Köpfchen" and an outer bailey now occupied by a chapel, serving as a key defensive outpost.
Today its atmospheric remnants reward hikers with panoramic Ruhr Valley views amid the former village site, preserved as a historic landmark accessible via trails.
