Sternberg Castle, in the Lippe region, is an impressive complex with a centuries-old history.
During the winter months, everything seems very peaceful.

The courtyard is always open. A view over the walls towards Dörentrup is worthwhile.
Nice little restaurant in the courtyard (is not always open)

The cultural agency of the Landesverband Lippe organizes top-class musical events at Sternberg Castle. In addition to regional cultural institutions, ensembles and musicians from all over Europe give concerts in the historic knight's hall of the castle.
The history of Sternberg Castle as a musical institution began in 1944/45 when Peter Harlans was posted as manager of an aircraft spare parts warehouse. The Luftwaffe helper took the command, “To Burg Sternberg, return journey canceled” literally and settled in the old knight's castle.
