To make a day of it
Schloss Adolfsburg stands in Kirchhundem (Kreis Olpe), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.
Schloss Adolfsburg is a moated château standing at the entrance to Oberhundem, part of the municipality of Kirchhundem, in the Hundem valley. Built in the 1670s for Johann Adolf von Fürstenberg, a canon of Münster cathedral, it was intended as a retirement retreat on the site of an older stronghold. The two storey baroque main building, flanked by projecting corner towers, still holds a knights' hall with fireplaces and an alabaster bust attributed to the sculptor Johann Mauritz Gröninger. The building is now divided into private apartments, so it is mainly seen and appreciated from the outside and its partly preserved park.
