Scharfenberg Castle

The castle Scharfenberg is an Outbound castle in Scharfenberg , now part of the town Brilon in Hochsauerlandkreis in North Rhine-Westphalia . The castle fell into disrepair at the end of the 17th century and from 1783 a new mansion was built, which later served as a pastorate .

history

The castle was first mentioned in 1306 as the Hus tom Scharpenberge . The possessions in Scharfenberg were probably transferred to the younger son Hermann von Padberg around 1300 through an inheritance division in the Padberg house . He built a castle on his property and called himself von Scharfenberg accordingly. The castle stood in the border area of ​​the territories of the Prince-Bishops of Cologne and the Counts of Waldeck . Due to constant territorial disputes on the border, it was destroyed in 1359, 1404 and 1473. In 1650 the castle building was partially renovated again. In 1695, the castle , which had towers and bailies , was so dilapidated that only remnants and old masonry remained. The outwork was still there, with a stone guardhouse or log house, a residential building with a cattle shed and a bakery. Johann Suibert Seibertz described before 1823 that the “main citadel was on the westernmost point of the ridge, where it dominated the whole village with all the paths leading through and up. It was surrounded by double walls and separated from the other ridges by a ditch , and cut off on all other sides by abrupt banks ”( Johann Suibert Seibertz ).

Scharfenberg Castle was located at the southwest end of a small ridge north of the village. In the 18th century this place was used as a quarry. No remains of the castle have survived. A memorial stone in front of the moat reminds of the former castle.

Baron Joseph Maria von Weichs built a manor house about 150 further east between 1783 and 1785 . This was auctioned off by the last owner, Alexander Freiherr von Ledebur , in 1835 due to financial difficulties. The pastorate was later located in the manor house .
