View of Herdringen Castle
Highlight • Viewpoint
Schloss Herdringen in the Arnsberg district of Herdringen is the seat of the barons of Fürstenberg and is considered one of the most important neo-Gothic secular buildings in Westphalia. The present castle was built in the years 1844 to 1853 by the Cologne Cathedral architect Ernst Friedrich Zwirner.
The manor Herdringen was first documented in 1376. The then Kettelburg was until 1501 the seat of the Ketteler family. After the decay of the old castle, Johann von Hanxleden and Elisabeth Ketteler founded the Hanxleden Gräftenhof further west. It was a half-timbered building that was located on an artificial island south of the outer bailey.

The Paderborn Prince-Bishop Dietrich von Fürstenberg bought the estate in 1618 and gave it to his nephew Friedrich von Fürstenberg. In the years 1683 to 1723, the three-winged baroque bailey was built. Over time, more and more structural deficiencies of the Gräftenhof were revealed. The relatively cramped space and not least his elevation to the rank of count prompted Franz Egon Graf von Fürstenberg (1818-1902) in the 1840s to rebuild the mansion in English Tudor style. The Gräftenhof was demolished in 1853.
From 1968 to 1998 the castle was used as a boarding school (Institut Schloss Herdringen, private secondary school).
In the 1960s Schloss Herdringen was the setting and backdrop for the two Edgar Wallace films The Black Abbot and The Counterfeiter of London. In 2008, the castle was used for filming the ZDF series Krupp - A German Family.
Today it is available as a venue for celebrations and corporate events and can be visited by groups after registration. In addition, concerts are also held on the premises. Fettes Brot, Madsen, Peter Fox, BAP, Roger Cicero, Die Fantastischen Vier and Atze Schröder, among others, performed here.
