Sternberg Castle, in the Lippe region, is an impressive complex with a centuries-old history. During the winter months, everything seems very peaceful.

History Count Friedrich VI of Spiegelberg, who had been sovereign of the County of Pyrmont since 1525, built a fortress with a residential building on top in the valley of Pyrmont between 1526 and 1536. As early as 1512, he had the ancestral seat of the Counts of Spiegelberg in Coppenbrügge converted into a contemporary fortress based on the Italian model. He used the experience he gained to build a fortress in Pyrmont as well. The almost square complex covered four and a half hectares and was surrounded by a 30 to 40 meter wide moat, a moat. The earth that accrued when digging the moat was piled up to build the castle wall with casemates incorporated into it. In the north, where the fortress was most vulnerable to attack, a small stone corner bastion was built. The entrance to the fortress was only accessible via a wooden drawbridge and the entrance tunnel was.
