Above Wilhelmshöhe Palace, in the middle of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe, lies the artificial castle ruins of Löwenburg. From a distance, it looks like a romantic knight's castle from the Middle Ages. However, it was only built between 1793 and 1801 as the "ancestral castle" of Landgrave Wilhelm IX of Hesse-Kassel, later Elector Wilhelm I.

His court architect Heinrich Christoph Jussow implemented the bold plans. Löwenburg was not a fortress, but a pleasure palace, whose princely living quarters and rich furnishings with historical furniture, paintings, tapestries, glass, bronzes as well as a magnificent collection of weapons and medieval stained glass windows reflect the great passion for collecting of its builder. A new highlight of the exhibition is the film installation in the former dining room, which sets the tone for the subsequent tour in a modern way and brings the spirit of the Baroque to life.

The immediate surroundings of the castle were also included in the production by creating an ancient-looking castle garden, a vineyard, a tournament ground and a zoo.

The Löwenburg is simply a fairytale castle “unpackaged”.
