Barons Of Bilstein
Bilstein (german: Edelherren von Bilstein) were a medieval German noble family in what later became the Duchy of Westphalia with an estate (called ''Land Bilstein'') mainly within the present region of Sauerland in Germany. Their family home was at Bilstein Castle (Lennestadt), Bilstein Castle in the present-day town of Lennestadt. This Westphalian family of ''Edelherren'' should not be confused with the Franconian counts of Bilstein, who held estates on the River Werra and in North Hesse.
