The ruins of the hilltop castle in the Münden Nature Park are on the right bank of the Weser on the western slope of the Bramwald in the Upper Weser Valley 100 m above the Weser valley and above the state road 561 between Hemeln in the south and Glashütte in the north. Source: wikipedia.org

The core of the castle is formed by a square plateau measuring 44 × 27 m. The most striking building today is the ruin of the 21.37 m high keep with a diameter of 10.20 m. This has a dungeon below the access point at a height of 9.17 m. There are three storeys above it, which were also habitable in the event of a siege. According to the results of building research, the lower third probably dates from the time of the first mention at the end of the first quarter of the 13th century. The upper part can be dated to the second half of the 14th or 15th century. At the edges, except in the east, there are still remains of the 1.45-1.80 m thick ring wall. Cellar depressions in the north-west and north-east and traces of walls parallel to the outer fortifications bear witness to the inner development. In the northwest, a 45 × 20 m terrace is ten meters below. At its north-west corner are the remains of a building with a basement measuring 35 × 12 m. To the east and west, the castle is protected by the natural topography. The southern side is secured by a section ditch that is 20 m wide and more than 8 m deep. The moat, which used to be extremely deep, has been partially filled in, but is still clearly visible. The Bramburg is freely accessible as an open ruin, while climbing the tower is not possible. The ruins have been owned by the von Stockhausen family since the 14th century. In 2020 and 2021, she had the masonry on the keep carried out extensively, which was funded by the Lower Saxony State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and the German Foundation for Monument Protection.

Beautiful facility, beautiful paths - worth a visit.

Charming palace and park in front of Calden. It is ideal for leisurely and interesting walks.

The Bramburg probably served to protect the Bursfelde monastery a few kilometers away. The complex was first mentioned around 1200. In the centuries that followed, it changed hands several times, was destroyed, rebuilt and finally fell into disrepair from the middle of the 16th century. You can enter the 30 by 80 meter complex of the castle. Unfortunately not the tower, it is too dilapidated.

great landscape park, beautiful walking paths also suitable for prams
