The Imbsenburg even castle Östinghusen called, is a Outbound Turmhügelburg (moth) at Paderborn - Wewer in North Rhine-Westphalia . Their remains are about 1000 meters west of the Wilhelmsburg estate in the velvet wood.
The castle complex was probably the ancestral seat of a ministerial family who named themselves after the Wewer Castle, three kilometers away , in the High Middle Ages . It consists of a 15 × 20 meter large and almost eight meter high tower hill at the northwest corner of an approximately rectangular outer bailey . The ramparts of the outer bailey and the tower hill border a brook gorge in the north and west. There was a cistern in the northwest corner of the outer bailey . The streambed was dammed near the Imbsenburg, so that approaching the castle from two sides was clearly more difficult. The ramparts and moats of Imbsenburg are partially preserved and easily recognizable.
The name Imbsenburg is a more recent name that probably goes back to the von Imbsen family . The von Imbsen family and other families were temporarily enfeoffed with the collected wood after the Abbey of Heerse was dissolved in 1810. In 1608 the castle complex, which was destroyed before 1401, was called "an der Burg".
