Castle Gimborn

Gimborn Castle is a former moated castle picturesquely situated in a remote valley of the upper Leppe in the municipality of Marienheide in the Oberbergischer Kreis of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.

Gimborn Castle was pledged in 1273 to the Count of the Mark by the Count of Berg. From 1631 it was a residence of the ruling Gimborn-Neustadt family, a branch of the Schwarzenbergs. Since 1874 the castle has belonged to the Barons von Fürstenberg zu Gimborn.

Today the castle is used as a conference site and meeting place of the International Police Association. Once a year the castle hosts the archery festival of the Gimborn Saint Sebastian archery club.
