Stünenburg stands in Iserlohn (Märkischer Kreis), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

The Stünenburg was a lowland fortification whose remains lie in the Obergrüne district of Iserlohn, in the valley of the Grüner Bach stream. Archaeological investigation places its existence between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries, with destruction likely occurring in the latter. Only faint ground traces survive today, with no standing structure, on a site that has yielded a handful of finds from past excavations. This is a destination for those drawn to medieval archaeology rather than a building to tour.

What to know

  • No standing structure remains: the site consists only of ground traces and terrain features.
  • No opening hours, fees or visitor facilities are known for this site.
  • It is located between the Stünenburg and Alter Grüner Talweg paths, in the valley of the Grüner Bach stream.
  • Appreciating the site requires some familiarity with field archaeology, since no built remains are visible above ground.
