シーダーシュヴァレンベルクの洞窟・トップ20

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.

View over Bad Pyrmont and Lügde.

Magnificent building constructed in 1579 in the Weser Renaissance style.

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.

The café in the castle courtyard is not as busy during the week, so you can better enjoy the view of the park.

Tip: small café in the castle courtyard with a view of the spa gardens. Relax and enjoy.

Very nice, well-kept facility, although privately owned. I thought the black swans were worth seeing.

Beautiful grounds, quite large park. At the beginning of the park, there is a very long incline that only ends outside of the town.
