Beautiful castle garden belonging to the Landgrave's Castle.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, larger defensive fortifications were built, especially to the west of the castle, some of which were based on suggestions from the Hessian fortress builder Wilhelm Dilich in 1620.
Today's castle park is the area of several bastions, redoubts, ravelins and casemates. There were underground gun emplacements in them.
Since Marburg Fortress was proven to be difficult to defend and therefore of little strategic importance, the walls, ramparts and ditches were largely removed between 1770 and 1786. In 1806, Napoleon's troops entered Marburg without a fight. In 1807 Napoleon ordered the destruction of the fortress. Therefore, all the walls and casemates that were still standing were blown up - except for the casemates through which the water pipes ran to the castle.
Only two casemates have survived undestroyed into modern times. All other fortifications were buried under rubble and earth for 170 years.
