Historical sources indicate that the predecessor of the current Oberwerris Castle stood on this place already in 1284. The palace complex which stands here today consists of several buildings from different eras. The most important of them is the two-storey brick castle with sandstone trim, built at the junction of the 17th and 18th centuries. To the north of it there is a hut - the oldest building of the complex.
Inside Oberwerris Castle you can admire a fireplace dating to 1672, transformed into a Gothic arched window. There is a baroque garden near the gatehouse. The stables, adjoining the kennel, are to the east of the main house. Oberwerris Castle is used mainly for conferences and receptions. The training center of the Gymnastics Federation of the North Rhine - Westphalia land is also on its territory.
References:The Walls of Constantinople are a series of defensive stone walls that have surrounded and protected the city of Constantinople (today Istanbul) since its founding as the new capital of the Roman Empire by Constantine the Great. With numerous additions and modifications during their history, they were the last great fortification system of antiquity, and one of the most complex and elaborate systems ever built. They were also the largest and strongest fortification in both the ancient and medieval world.
Initially built by Constantine the Great, the walls surrounded the new city on all sides, protecting it against attack from both sea and land. As the city grew, the famous double line of the Theodosian Walls was built in the 5th century. Although the other sections of the walls were less elaborate, they were, when well-manned, almost impregnable for any medieval besieger.
