Magnificent building constructed in 1579 in the Weser Renaissance style.

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

<< Schwalenberg Town Hall >> "The Schwalenberg Town Hall, with its richly carved facade, is an important example of the half-timbered architecture of the Weser Renaissance. The current building complex consists of four parts: The gable-fronted core building from 1579 was extended on the left side in 1603 by an extension with the council chamber. In 1853, an extension made of quarry stone masonry was added to the rear, while in 1907/08 an extension was added on the right side. The facade facing the street consists of a projecting, carved gable with round-arch openings on the ground floor. The arbor-like arch position suggests that it was used as an open market hall. The parapets of the core building are decorated with fan rosettes, lacing rolls, coats of arms, Justitia, lion and griffin. Low German inscriptions with religious and secular content can be found on the threshold beams. The The extension from 1603 fits into the half-timbered construction of the core building, but differs in its decorative forms: various decorative elements from the Renaissance such as egg-shaped and dentil decoration as well as plant tendrils that merge into heads and figures (based on Italian models). The town hall was renovated at the beginning of the 20th century. In 1988-90 the interior was rebuilt and renovated."

There are some castles along the way, but rarely a ruin. It catches the eye and you have a good view of it from the opposite side.
