Tips

October 29, 2024

The Kugelsburg is the landmark of the town of Volkmarsen and was built as a Romanesque castle in the 12th century. From the round tower, you can use the free binoculars to enjoy the view far into the neighboring Wolfhagen and Warburg region. If you climb down from the tower, you come to the inner courtyard. From here, a spiral staircase takes you to the so-called "Witches' Cellar," which gives visitors an impression of the Middle Ages.
