Pretty little town that has been partially well restored. Unfortunately this place also seems deserted. The market square is adorned with a falconer fountain and a sign pointing to the town of Lauenstein in the Weserbergland.
The local castle has also been partially restored and has a falconry and a beautifully landscaped castle garden.

In the middle of the market, the falconer's fountain has stood since 1913 on the site of a water tub of the wooden pipe water conduit from 1606.

Built in 1912, it is, alongside the castle, the landmark of the town of Lauenstein.
