Burg Botzlar, Medieval castle in Selm, Germany
The two-story stone structure features six axes and corner blocks, representing the architectural style of early 19th-century German fortifications.
First mentioned in 1282, the castle changed ownership to the Bishop of Münster and endured two destructions during conflicts with the Counts of Mark.
The castle transformation into a civic center represents the adaptation of historical buildings for modern community purposes in North Rhine-Westphalia.
Starting December 2024, the castle will serve as an official venue for civil marriage ceremonies, replacing Schloss Cappenberg as the primary location.
A citizens' foundation purchased the castle from the city of Selm in October 2013 for 600,000 euros to preserve its heritage.
