history
The Padberg estate is first mentioned in 1030. The Counts of Padberg built their castle on the Altenhagen mountain at the beginning of the 12th century. But as early as 1120, after the older line of the Counts of Padberg had died out, the fiefdom and the castle fell back to the Archbishops of Cologne . These reassigned the property. It fell to a ministerial family later also named by Padberg . In 1217 Gottschalk II was forced by Padberg to open the castle to the Archbishops of Cologne as an open house . In the 14th century there was a split into the Old House Padberg and the New House Padberg . The latter built its own castle on the Neuenhagen, which was also called Unterhaus Padberg . In the feud between the archbishopric of Cologne and the county of Waldeck over the castles Nordenau and Canstein , the old castle was temporarily occupied by Cologne in 1342. In the 14th century, the Lords of Padberg belonged to various knight associations including the Bengler Association. In a feud against the Paderborn Monastery , the city of Padberg was destroyed in 1391 and 1394. However, the castles withstood various sieges. In the 15th century the lords of Padberg had to cede most of their dominion to Waldeck. Later they had to recognize the sovereignty of the Archbishops of Cologne (or Dukes of Westphalia) for the rest of their possessions. Both castles fell into disrepair and were probably no longer habitable since the 1530s. The Lords of Padberg moved into new jobs near the town of Padberg.

The castle was almost rectangular and comparatively small at 18 m × 32 m. Rounded wall corners possibly go back to a redesign from the 14th century. The gate was to the west. The castle had a round tower with a diameter of 5 m on the southeast corner of the curtain wall . The main house and a cistern were probably located in the south of the complex . Overall, only a few remains of the castle have survived.
