Burg Castle
Schloss Burg (Burg Castle) stands on a wooded hill above the Wupper in Burg an der Wupper (Solingen), Germany. Originally founded in the 12th century by the counts of Berg, it later became a representative hunting castle and today is a reconstructed public site housing a regional museum and a castle church.

As it stood in 1520
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a wooded ridge above the Wupper, the castle is a compact cluster of pale sandstone buildings dominated by a tall, square central keep with a steep, hipped slate roof. Surrounding the keep are multiple steeply pitched slate roofs, smaller round and square towers, and connected masonry ranges forming an inner ward and courtyards. Curtain walls and walkways link the buildings, and terraces step down the wooded slope toward the valley and town below.
