To make a day of it
Burg Wegberg stands in Wegberg (Kreis Heinsberg), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Burg Wegberg stands in the centre of the town of Wegberg in North Rhine-Westphalia, on grounds that go back to a 14th century foundation of which almost nothing remains. What visitors see today, the brick manor house with neo-Gothic details and the square tower topped by a pyramidal roof, dates mainly from the late 19th century and from the 16th and 17th centuries. A moat still frames the site, curving in a semicircle to the south and forming a rectangular shape to the north. The main building now operates as a hotel and restaurant, which shapes how the place can be visited.
What to know
- The main building houses a working hotel and restaurant, so visits are mainly limited to the exterior and surroundings.
- No opening hours or admission fees are published, the site is mostly seen from the public areas around the moat.
- The tower dating from the 16th and 17th centuries and the water-filled moat are the oldest surviving elements.
- The site sits right in the centre of Wegberg and is easily reached on foot.
