Road cycling

The game reserve at the castle is very worth seeing with its deer and roebucks

Mountain biking

In addition to the Herdringen Castle, which is well worth seeing, there are some beautiful trails and good connections in all directions. The trail along the Schloßwiese is a nice descent and you can take a few junctions in the direction of Habbeler Weg from there to the Teussenberg, the view of Herdringen, Hüsten, Müschede is worth the climb.

Herdringen Castle
The Herdringen manor was first documented in 1376. Until 1543, it belonged to the von Ketteler family, and thereafter to the von Westrem family. In 1618, the Prince-Bishop of Paderborn, Dietrich von Fürstenberg, purchased it and bequeathed it to his nephew. Since then, the estate has belonged to the Barons von Fürstenberg.

The three-winged outer bailey was built between 1683 and 1723.

The actual castle was built between 1844 and 1853 according to plans by Ernst Friedrich Zwirner. Zwirner, as an architect, also completed Cologne Cathedral. The castle chapel is therefore a reminder of this important building.
