Schloss Brüninghausen stands in Plettenberg (Märkischer Kreis), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Schloss Brüninghausen stands in the Ohle district of Plettenberg, in the Sauerland region. Its distinctive silhouette, formed by two connected manor buildings, recalls its origin as a fortified estate once surrounded by a water moat, long since drained. First recorded in 1311 as a fief of the Archbishop of Cologne, the building remains a private residence, which means visits are limited to viewing it from outside.

  • It can be seen from outside while walking around the Ohle district of Plettenberg.
  • A traditional Christmas tree sale is held on the grounds each year.
  • With no set opening hours or fees, a visit here is an open-air stop rather than a guided tour.
