One of the most important examples of Neo-Gothic ruin architecture on the continent – Löwenburg Castle – Wilhelmshöhe Mountain Park, Germany – Constructed 1793-1801 by Heinrich Christoph Jussov
From afar, it appears to the visitor like a romantic knight’s castle from the Middle Ages, with its outward appearance of a seemingly very old ruined castle, the Löwenburg castle evokes not only siege attacks and enemies being driven back while inside the castle, royal apartments are to be found which are extensively furnished with historical furniture, paintings, tapestries, glassware, bronze sculptures, a magnificent collection of weaponry and medieval glass windows, reflecting the builder’s great passion for collecting.
