Hardenberg Castle is a baroque former moated castle in the district of Neviges in the town of Velbert. It is located in the valley of the Hardenberger Bach a little north of the centre of Neviges at the narrowest point of the Bachtal and dates back to a re-establishment of the von Gevertshagen family at the end of the 15th century. It replaced Hardenberg Castle, which had probably fallen into disrepair, the remains of which can be found about 630 metres southwest of the castle.

Hardenberg Castle, also known locally as Old Castle, is the ruin of a hilltop castle on a 247-metre-high mountain spur between the districts of Neviges and Tönisheide in Velbert. About 600 metres northeast of the castle site is Hardenberg Castle. However, this is not – as a local legend claims – connected to the Old Castle by a secret passage. Nor were their stones used as building material for the castle.
