Löwenburg

Short facts

  • Kassel

The Löwenburg is located in the middle of the Wilhelmshöhe mountain park

The artificial castle ruins of Löwenburg Castle are located in the centre of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe. From a distance, it looks like a romantic knight's castle from the Middle Ages. However, it was only built between 1793 and 1801, when Landgrave Wilhelm IX of Hesse-Kassel had the castle built not as a fortress but as a pleasure palace.

You can experience the builder's great passion for collecting on a guided tour of the castle today. In the princely living quarters, you can marvel at historical furniture, paintings, medieval stained glass windows and an extensive collection of weapons.
