ウエールデの洞窟・トップ12

Two surrounding moats with a rampart in between have been preserved to this day. The inner moat encloses the oldest castle, an oval structure with a diameter of around 70 m, in whose ring of walls in the southwest the 33 m high keep is integrated. This has a circular floor plan and its entrance is at a height of 12 m. To the west there is a 34 m long castle-like extension with a small inner courtyard. Renovations in the castle area took place mainly in the Renaissance, which can be seen particularly in the windows and portals. A wooden pulpit altar in the castle chapel from the end of the 17th century has also been preserved. The furnishings, dated "1681" but unsigned, are attributed to Martin Kraft. Also worth seeing are the count's office, the Princess Marie Pauline restaurant, the knight's cellar, the prince's and mirror hall, the baroque castle chapel and the keep. Source: Wikipedia

The stamp also belongs to the Huy-Fallstein booklet of the HWN.

It's worth it in any season. In the leafless 🍁 state you have a nice view of the ruins.

A visit to the Wasserburg Westerburg is worthwhile, you will find countless great photo opportunities and a lot to discover here on the lovingly tended area. There is a free car park right at the entrance, gastronomy and hotel are available and the stamp for the special booklet of castles and palaces can be found right next to the reception.

Piece of history to touch, up close

A look into the inner courtyard is also worthwhile.

A rooty trail leads around it.

An absolute highlight
