Cozy resting place with two benches and a table. From here you have a great view of Hamm Castle.

A medieval fortification in Hamm was mentioned as early as 1052, which over the centuries has been repeatedly adapted to contemporary needs through changes and new buildings. It stands on the site of a much older, early medieval refugee castle in which the residents of the surrounding estates could retreat in the event of danger during the migration of peoples. Today's appearance is essentially shaped by the enclosing and defensive walls and a residential complex from the Gothic period. The complex has an area of 40 x 80 m. What is probably the oldest structure, the basic structure of which is still intact, dates back to the Romanesque period and contains, among other things, the chapel, which was rebuilt in 1700 in the Baroque style. Two round towers enclose a late Gothic palace from the 14th century, which was replaced in 1586 by a Renaissance building. After standing vacant for a long time around the middle of the 19th century, it was completely renovated in 1885-1896 with a few structural changes. In 1945, the Renaissance palace, like parts of the adjoining Gothic building, fell victim to the arson by German troops, who did not want the Allies to get their hands on German cultural assets. Reconstruction after the war secured the courtyard facade of the Renaissance palace, but removed the side of the garden that had been severely damaged by the building fabric and added a small half-timbered building at this point.
