Kyffhausen Lower Castle

Highlight • Castle

My absolute highlight. The Kyffhäuser Monument is impressive, but the Lower Castle is charming and not overcrowded, at least outside of the holidays. Very romantic.

Built during the period of the "National Monuments", which had its heyday in the 19th century. The Kyffhäuser Monument is one of the largest of its kind in Germany, along with the Walhalla in Regensburg.
