Largest residential tower in the region

A historical highlight that should not be missed in the summer months - the castle ruins Burgaltendorf. Built in Romanesque style in the second half of the 12th century, it is the largest preserved residential tower between the Rhine and the Weser. Once surrounded by a moat, today the castle offers a breathtaking view of the surrounding countryside. Visitors can climb the tower and enjoy the view or wander through the remains of the former residential building. The tower of the complex with its viewing platform can be visited free of charge between mid-April and mid-October every Saturday, Sunday and public holiday from 3 to 5 pm. A walk through the surrounding area, past streams and the Schellenberg Forest, perfectly rounds off the excursion.
