Luccaburg Memorial

The Loccum Forest is always worth a visit. Small to large tours can be completed here. The Luccaburg is a highlight in the forest.

The park and the adjacent monastery have a great atmosphere. You can also take a look inside the monastery's huge church.

The Luccaburg was an early medieval lowland castle near Loccum. The tower hill castle of the Counts of Lucca from the 11th/12th century can be recognized as a mighty, round mound of earth. Parts of the 2 m wide ring wall have been preserved. A Count Burchard of Lucca is mentioned in documents around 1113 and 1130. His daughter Beatrice of Lucca married Count Wilbrand of Hallermund, who thus became his successor and heir. In 1163 he donated the surrounding land to Cistercian monks to found the Loccum monastery. The Luccaburg can only be reached on foot or by bike.
