Haus Altenburg

Haus Altenburg, also known as Alteburg or formerly Haus Breberen, is a former manor located in the valley of the Saeffelbach in the immediate vicinity of the Gangelt district of Breberen in the Heinsberg district of North Rhine-Westphalia. The castle complex, built on the site of an early tower hill castle (motte) by the Lords of Heinsberg and still partially surrounded by moats, was first mentioned in a document in 1330 as “Hof ten berghe”. It is divided into a three-sided, two-story outer bailey from the 17th and 18th centuries and the three-wing manor house, also from the 17th and 18th centuries, which can be reached via an ascending brick bridge. All buildings are made of brick.
