Very romantic and picturesque castle!
Löwenburg also known as Lion castle was intentionally built as an artificial ruin castle, therefore it is very rich in decoration and ornaments. Visitors can stroll by its courtyard and admire its features for free. As the major renovations were completed just recently, in July 2022, the castle looks stunning and brand new!
I was, however, disappointed with the organization of the visit! I purchased a 6 EUR combined ticket allowing me to visit the Octagon with Hercules statue and Wilhelmshöhe castle along with the Löwenburg, however I was unable to do so. The only option to visit the inner chambers is with a guided tour that needs to be booked online and in advance. Unfortunately I was not informed about this when buying the ticket in the information center earlier that morning, therefore I was not able to get in as all slots were booked. This quite complex scheme of booking takes all the fun away from exploring such a beautiful place.
Nice views of the castle can be experienced from Turnierplatz, a vertical garden with benches located on the south side. Visited in August 2022.
