Hörder Burg

Imagine standing here when knights and nobles roamed these grounds. Look at those thick stone walls and picture the flickering torchlight casting shadows here long ago. Behind you, the River Emscher once surrounded the castle, serving as both a barrier and a lifeline. Legend has it that within these walls, secret meetings decided the fate of entire regions. To your left, the spot where the grain mill once stood. It may not be grinding any grain now, but it was the heartbeat of the area back then. And did you know that the Hörde family was renowned not just for their power, but for their hospitality? The feasts held here drew people from miles away, with the sounds of music and laughter echoing across the water.
