history

Lengefeld Church
Manor house of the former moated castle

The area of ​​today's Lengefeld was probably settled as early as the 8th century, which is indicated by the ring wall above the village , the Hünenkeller . In 1036 Lengefeld was first mentioned as Lenkevelde as the Vorwerk of the Paderborn manor in Korbach. The Lords of Lengefeld were first mentioned in a document in 1228.

As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Lengefeld voluntarily became a district of Korbach on July 1, 1970. In 2011 the place celebrates its 975th anniversary.

Ringwall Hünenkeller

From the oval Carolingian - Ottonian hill fort , an elongated moat and a wall remnant at the southern entrance have been preserved on the eastern side. In addition, there was a natural cave until recently, in which, according to a folk legend , originally giant men lived and made the area unsafe, which is where the name of the complex comes from.

Moated castle

Below the Hünenkeller there is a courtyard in place of a water castle first mentioned in 1228 . The former moats are now completely filled. In the manor house , not visible from the outside, the stump of a square residential tower is hidden, which probably dates from the 14th / 15th centuries. Century. It has a wall thickness of around two meters, was removed down to three floors in the 17th century and is similar in appearance to that of Nordenbeck Castle . The building itself has been rebuilt and renewed several times. At the beginning of the 19th century it received a half-timbered extension .
