The Weitmar Castle Park is always enchanting with the daring and successful architectural mix of quarry stone ruins and the postmodern structure of the "Cube" and the black bunkers of the "Museum Underground" in contrast to the old trees and idyllic pond with weeping willow.

Hiking

The castle park in Weitmar invites you to take a little trip into the past. A farm was mentioned in documents as early as the 11th century in the Weitmar Castle Park, from which the first manor, Haus Weitmar, developed in the second half of the 15th century. In 1592, Johann von Hasenkamp built a moated castle from Ruhr sandstone, the ruins of which can still be seen today. Today, history meets modernity here, giving an unusual sight.
