Tips

Andrea und Huskys 🐺

December 18, 2024

In the course of the castle romanticism of the 19th century, the "Comité for the Restoration of the Tower on the Sparenberge" was founded in Bielefeld and undertook the reconstruction of the tower, which took place in 1842/43. The lower part of the keep, which was still teardrop-shaped in plan, was built over with the new, now round observation tower. 121 steps lead up. The height of the tower is 45.2 meters to the top of the flagpole and 31.5 meters to the edge of the battlements. The arduous climb is rewarded with an XXL panoramic view of the city on the Teutoburg Forest. In good weather, the view extends as far as the Wiehen Hills.

The view over the castle, the town and the countryside is worth the effort.
