A rarity in this area. And well connected, too.

The detour is always worth it... even if it's just to get a few meters of altitude on the clock.

A fairly steep climb for the area, but rewarded with beautiful views from the castle hill.

Stromberg Castle Ruins: Only parts of the ring wall, a castle manor, and the 15th-century St. Paul's Tower remain. A coat of arms stone dating from 1564 can still be seen at the castle gate.

The lowland castle was first mentioned in a document from the Liesborn monastery in 1248, and excavations in 1987 confirmed this date. The castle had a two-and-a-half-meter-thick quarry stone wall and a Romanesque residential tower with a side length of around 22 meters. You can enter the site; access is available via the "Zum Amt" street.

There is evidence that a garden with a geometric layout existed here since 1623, which was surrounded on three sides by a moat based on the Dutch model. This was partially restored on the occasion of the State Garden Show in 1988 according to historical plans and using contemporary plants such as old rose varieties. The former orangery, a brick building with late classicist architectural forms, dates from 1873. The castle park north of the moated castle is a more landscaped park area. The name "Hirschwiese" indicates that a princely game reserve once existed here. Source: https://www.baukunst-nrw.de/objekte/Schlossgarten-Rheda--1042.htm
