Burg Adelebsen, Medieval castle in Adelebsen, Germany
The castle stands on a sandstone cliff at the southern end of Adelebsen, featuring a nine-story residential and defensive tower built from sandstone.
The castle originated in 1234 when the Lords of Wibbecke settled on the rock and began construction, serving as their residence for almost 800 years.
The architecture combines elements from different periods between Gothic and Neo-Renaissance, with the residential tower ranking among the largest medieval keeps in Europe.
Access to the castle occurs through the outer bailey, which connects to the main castle area where the great residential house underwent renovations in 1897.
The Adelebsen Castle Foundation, established in 1947 by Georg Freiherr von Adelebsen, maintains the structure after the male line of the family ended in 1957.
