Built in 1200 by Count Arnold von Altena, the 240-metre-long castle is now Hattingen's oldest and most important archaeological evidence of the High Middle Ages and one of the largest castle ruins in Germany. It was almost completely destroyed in 1225 after the lord of the castle, Count Friedrich von Isenberg, murdered the Archbishop of Cologne.
