The observation tower belonging to the original Schell-Pyrmont Castle was built in 1824 by the sovereign Prince Georg Friedrich of Waldeck-Pyrmont and is thus one of the oldest observation towers in a spa town.

An eye-catcher on the Weser Cycle Path

The castle looks dreamy in the landscape. The opposite side of the Weser is worth taking a good photo of.

The castle of the Counts of Hallermund was first mentioned around 1189, although they only owned a small dominion of 55km². They did not enjoy their castle for long, Ludolf and Wilbrand pledged it to the bishop of Hildesheim. Later it became the property of the Guelphs, was temporarily owned by the Count of Spiegelberg and was part of all sorts of disputes, feuds and robberies. It was probably finally demolished around 1435, which explains why there is really not a single small wall left here. Only depressions and funnels on the edge indicate the cellar and building.

Magnificent view of Pyrmont and the Emmer Valley

From the George Tower you can see Paschenburg Castle at the very top. There's a significant difference in altitude, so it's recommended to visit the tower for a better view. The route from Schaumburg Castle to Paschenburg isn't particularly easy for cyclists.

In the 12th century a castle was built here, which was destroyed in 1435. You don't see much anymore, but you can still see the wall on a detour to this historic square.
