Burg Peckelsheim, Medieval castle in Willebadessen, Germany.

The fortress stands on elevated ground with stone walls, towers, and defensive structures that exemplify traditional German military architecture from medieval times.

The castle maintains its original layout from 1318 when Peckelsheim received its town rights, surviving numerous fires throughout the centuries.

The structure represents local architectural elements of North Rhine-Westphalia, integrating regional building techniques and materials common in German fortifications.

Located 310 kilometers west of Berlin, visitors can reach the castle via the nearby Kassel-Calden Airport or through regional roads L828 and L763.

The castle grounds contain ancient oak trees mentioned in historical records connecting the site to the time of Emperor Charlemagne.
