Short facts

Kassel

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

The artificial castle ruins of the Löwenburg are located in the middle 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. Landgrave Wilhelm IX. von Hessen-Kassel had the castle built not as a fortress, but as a pleasure palace.

You can experience the builder's great passion for collecting today on a guided tour through the walls. Historical furniture, paintings, medieval glass windows and an extensive collection of weapons can be admired in the princely living quarters.

Due to renovation work, the Löwenburg can only be visited on a guided tour to a limited extent until further notice.
