Eversberg is a town with about 2,000 inhabitants in the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The town is approximately 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) away from downtown Meschede and is well known for its delightful historical local centre with timber-framed houses.
History
The history of the town dates back to the 11th century, when Count Gottfried von Arnsberg founded the castle of Eversberg, which today is a ruin.[1]
Eversberg became part of Meschede in 1975 during a reorganizing process in North Rhine-Westphalia. In 1981 Eversberg won the national prize "Unser Dorf soll schöner werden" as one of the most beautiful towns in Germany.[2]
