Löwenburg, Kassel 🇩🇪

Built at the end of the 18th century by Elector Wilhelm I, he pursued one goal: Löwenburg Castle was to display the power and endurance of the House of Hesse. On a side note: the elector never lived in this castle. The building represented the beginning of a romanticising return to the Middle Ages; a development that culminated in the idealised, pseudo-medieval castle of Neuschwanstein.
