Burg Blomberg overlooks the town of Blomberg in the Kreis Lippe. Founded in the 13th century by the lords zur Lippe together with the counts of Schwalenberg and Sternberg, it first served as a fortress before becoming a residence under Simon I.

A notable feature is the oriel of white sandstone facing the inner courtyard, the work of master builder Hermann Wulff of Lemgo.
