The castle Eschwege stands on the northwestern edge of the old town of Eschwege, above the castle mill directly on the Werra, in the Werra-Meißner-Kreis in northern Hesse. The three-wing former renaissance-style Landgrafenschloss castle from the 16th and 17th centuries serves since 1821 as the seat of the district administration. In the castle tower, the so-called Dietemann Pavilion, there is an art clock with the Dietemann, the symbol of the city of Eschwege (Wikipedia).
