    The Falkenburg ruins in Teuto are a ruined castle in the Detmold district.
    The former hilltop castle was built from around 1190 and was abandoned in the first half of the 16th century.
    The Falkenburg, which is a protected archaeological monument, has been examined by an archaeological excavation team since April 2005.

      When the weather is nice you can see the Hermannsdenkmal 😊.
      ...
      Nobleman Bernard II and his son Hermann II built the Falkenburg in 1194. After a fire partially destroyed the castle in 1453, the remains of the castle were released as a quarry, which helped with the construction of some houses and the "Gauseköte" street.

        Unfortunately, today only the ruin of the castle can be seen. But even that is imposing and 'a must-see' 😉.
