Above the small town of Spangenberg in the Schwalm-Eder district of northern Hesse, a group of buildings sits on a steep hilltop: Spangenberg Castle with a rectangular inner courtyard, surrounded by a narrow 15th-century kennel. The site looks back on over 800 years of eventful history and severe damage.
