Hünenbräuken stands in Arnsberg (Hochsauerlandkreis), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Hünenbräuken is the name given to the remains of a medieval motte, hidden within the Lürwald nature reserve at the southern edge of Voßwinkel, a district of Arnsberg. It is thought to date from the 13th century, though no written source clearly documents its history or builders. A record mentioning a certain Hunoldus de Plettenbracht, a knight or ministerialis serving the Counts of Arnsberg, may possibly refer to this site, though this remains uncertain. What survives today is a clearly visible mound surrounded by a ditch, along with traces of an outer bailey to the south, also protected by ditches.

What to know

  • The site lies within the Lürwald nature reserve, with no visitor facilities on location.
  • No standing structures remain, only a mound and ditches shaped into the terrain.
  • There are no opening hours or admission fees, as access is free through the woodland.
  • Visiting involves a walk through natural terrain, so sturdy footwear is advisable.
