Löwenburg is an imposing 18th century castle that feels straight out of the pages of a fairy tale. Although the structure resembles a semi-ruined knight's castle from the outside, its interior conforms to the characteristic layout of a Baroque country palace. It also includes, besides the princely apartments, an armoury and a Neo-Gothic chapel. The castle's patron found his final resting place in the crypt beneath the chapel. The castle's immediate surroundings were laid out to conform to the medieval theme: they included a deliberately old-world castle garden, a vineyard, a tiltyard, and a menagerie. The Wolves' Glen at the foot of the structure was originally intended to provide the setting for a monumental waterfall, which would have become a major element of the park's Romantic water features if it had been built. The project was abandoned early on. (Kassel, Germany)
