The former medieval castle, dating back to the 13th century, is now the heart of Bad Hönningen and a magnificent venue for film shoots and family celebrations. The former Renaissance castle, with its 365 windows, 52 doors, and once 12 towers, proudly bears the title "Castle of the Year." The von der Leyen family sold it in 1848 to Count Friedrich Ludolf von Westerholt-Gysenberg for financial reasons. Cathedral architect Ernst Friedrich Zwirner remodeled the complex in the Neo-Gothic style, a move that was met with considerable criticism. The three statues of Joan of Arc, Godefroy de Bouillon, and Richard the Lionheart are particularly striking.
