Lichtenfels Castle

→ Main article: Lichtenfels Castle

The Orke's entry valley into Örksche Schweiz , unit 332.33 of the Eastern Sauerland mountain range , near Dalwigksthal; above in the background Lichtenfels Castle

Lichtenfels Castle was built by the Abbot of Corvey in 1189 , but destroyed again a little later, then rebuilt between 1223 and 1230. On July 21, 1267, Corvey pledged Lichtenfels Castle to Count Adolf I. von Waldeck . After violent feuds, Corvey had to finally grant Count Otto von Waldeck ownership of the castle in 1297. As Duke of Westphalia, the Archbishop of Cologne raised claims to the towns of Münden, Neukirchen and Rhadern in the Lichtenfels district, which led to lengthy trials and fights in the 16th and 17th centuries. In the course of these conflicts, the castle was probably destroyed again at the beginning of the 17th century. Partial reconstruction took place in 1631, and a more extensive one followed between 1908 and 1914. At the end of the 1980s, an entrepreneurial family bought the castle, which had been dilapidated by then, and extensively restored it.

Biodata

The company Biodata des Tan Siekmann was temporarily located at the castle. Biodata was a company in the so-called New Economy that was active in the IT security sector . In November 2001, Biodata filed for bankruptcy. This was accompanied by one of the early scandals of the New Economy, which was later worked on by the filmmaker Klaus Stern in the film "World Market Leader". In 2005 the film was awarded the highest German documentary film prize, the Herbert Quandt Media Prize of the Johanna Quandt Foundation.

Huxhohl moated castle

This lost moated castle was mentioned in a document in 1335 in the possession of the Lords of Dorfeld. It was west of the village. After 1609 it came into the possession of the Lords of Dalwigk . Later it gradually fell into disrepair and was completely demolished and the moats filled. Remains are no longer there, the area has been completely leveled.

church

Dalwigksthals Church, which belonged to the parish of Münden since ancient times , is now part of the Sachsenberg parish . It was built in place of a chapel that was once the burial place of the von Dalwigk family . All that remains of the medieval chapel is the Gothic choir , which was probably built at the beginning of the 14th century. The present ship was rebuilt in 1620.
