The castle park, which has only been open to the general public for around 100 years, is home to botanical features from all over the world. The Rotenburg castle park was created in the 16th century and has undergone many changes over the course of its history. Most interventions have been to its detriment. Located in the middle of the city, it has repeatedly been a preferred building site for municipal and state buildings. For many years, Ms. Brigitte Hallenberger has been working on identifying trees and shrubs that have survived these interventions as exotic species and were often in danger of being removed. Many specimens certainly date back to the Landgrave era, but nothing is known about when they were planted. Some are very rare and cannot even be found in the Wilhelmshöhe mountain park today. More exotic plants are to be planted in the coming years, thus helping to raise awareness of the castle park in the old Landgrave town of Rotenburg a. d. Fulda among the people of Rotenburg and its guests. (Source: https://www.deutsche-maerchenstrasse.com/poi/rotenburger-schlosspark)

I was there about three weeks ago, it has a magic all of its own! The hike is worth it - I made a little film about it for anyone who is interested - with a bit of history;) When I was there, water was running down in the cellar... afterwards I was in an air raid shelter nearby.

The moated castle in the Rotenburg district of Schwarzenhasel, first mentioned in 1371 and still almost completely surrounded by a spring-fed moat, was built in 1698 by the noble von Trott family with two half-timbered floors above a late medieval base floor. After several changes of ownership, Edmund von Biedenfeld acquired the property in 1885 and arranged for the historicist conversion and expansion of the castle house. In 1897, the moated castle came into the possession of the Westphalian von Bodelschwingh family, who have now lived and managed the property in the fourth generation.

A once great building is in a pitiful state. One can only hope that at some point something will change for the better.

The all-round view from the castle and the tower is simply great!

Very steep when you get to the top, there is a wide view of the round to Gudensberg

Looks quite nice, but is used more as a car park
