The Brunswick lion, also known as the Lion's Arch into the late 19th century and still known today as the (Brunswick) castle lion, is a monument of a larger than life bronze lion from the second half of the 12th century, the symbol of Duke Henry the Lion erected in his power.

The Brunswick Lion (1166, bronze, copy from 1881) is the oldest surviving large-scale sculpture from the Middle Ages north of the Alps and the first larger figurative hollow casting since antiquity. The bronze cast, probably created by an unknown artist himself in Braunschweig, weighs 880 kg, is 1.78 m high, 2.79 m long and has a maximum wall thickness of 12 mm. Several copies of the Braunschweiger Löwen can be found all over the world, but mainly in Germany. For example in front of the Ratzeburg Cathedral.
