Burg Beverungen stands in Beverungen (Kreis Höxter), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 14th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Beverungen castle stands on the banks of the river Weser in the Kreis Höxter, once a stronghold of the prince-bishops of Paderborn. Of the 14th-century fortified complex, only a massive rectangular residential tower and the neighbouring Rentmeisterhaus remain, the surrounding walls and moat having been removed during 19th-century demolitions. Visitors can see the tower's rubble stone walls, its steep sandstone roof and timber-framed gable, a structure that passed from military use to administrative seat and eventually to municipal ownership.

What to know

A road now cuts through the former castle grounds, dating from the construction of the Weser bridge in 1902.
Only the residential tower and the Rentmeisterhaus survive, as the surrounding walls and moat have disappeared.
The building passed into private ownership in 2017 after having belonged to the town of Beverungen.
No opening hours, admission fees or access conditions are published for visiting.
