Halfway up the Bergpark, Löwenburg Castle is one of Kassel’s great unique attractions, special as it is as one of the first pseudo-medieval castles in Europe, dating all the way back to the late 18th century. Used as a luxury residence, the interiors are sumptuous and comfortable — as we expect from any castle worth its salt — but quite a contrast from the stern exterior. While the furniture was saved, the building itself was badly damaged in the war. Visitors can view the interiors on guided tours departing every hour, and keep in mind you can’t go inside unless you’re on one of these tours.
