The Bruchhauser Steine fortification near Bruchhausen is located on the 721 m high Istenberg and is one of the oldest fortifications in the Sauerland and dates back to the 6th century BC.
The hilltop castle encloses the four large rocks of the Bruchhauser Steine. From the so-called Feldstein, the southernmost and highest rock, there is a collapsed cyclopean wall that leads to the northern Goldstein. In front of it is a ditch. A similar wall runs between the Goldstein and the Bornstein. This blocks access from the northeast. In the southeast, 300 m away, there is another wall with a ditch. The Bornstein and the Goldstein were also connected on their west side by a dry stone wall. Between the two stones, a square square of about 0.6 ha was created. In the west of the Ravenstein, in the southeast of the Bornstein and at the northeastern foot of the Feldstein there are further smaller safeguards. In the west between Feldstein and Ravenstein, as well as in the north between Ravenstein and Bornstein, no visible fortifications have been found.
