Sight 3: Burg Hardenberg
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.
