For centuries, a hilltop castle stood on the Falkenberg in the Teutoburg Forest, which was one of the largest medieval dynastic castles in Westphalia.

 Falkenburg Castle used to be the seat of the lords of Lippe. But that was a long time ago.
Before excavation work began in 2004, Falkenburg Castle was just an inconspicuous ruin, the destination of Sunday family outings and hiking days. Back then, no one would have thought that such an impressive and mighty castle complex was hidden under the ground.

It is all the more beautiful to see how these ruins are now revealing their secrets.
