history

In 1413, Heiligenhoven is mentioned for the first time in a combing register of Fronhof Lindlar with the name "Heiligenhoeven" . There were fortifications in Ober-, Mittel- and Unterheiligenhoven.

The Scheller farm , which is mentioned in a pledge from 1519, belongs to Mittelheiligenhoven .

Already before 1555 there was a small castle in Mittelheiligenhoven. Foundation walls and cellar holes were found on a circular hill. With a diameter of only 15 meters, the system was only small in size. From 1703 the castle was owned by Baron von Waldenburg zu Unterheiligenhoven. In the Topographia Ducatus Montani from 1715 only the castles in Unter- and Oberheiligenhoven are recorded. However, the topographical maps show the castle hill of Mittelheiligenhoven , beginning with the Prussian first survey from 1840 to the official map from 1927.

Around 1900 the foundations of the castle should still have been visible. An old village legend says that there is still a treasure there.
