Stickhausen Castle

Stickhausen Castle is a medieval fortress standing along the Leda river in northern Lower Saxony. The structure has thick stone walls, towers, and defensive features built to guard this strategic location.

The fortress was built in the 14th century to control water routes and protect trade paths in the region. This purpose shaped how it was constructed and what it looks like today.

The castle shows how people in northern Germany lived and defended their lands during medieval times. Walking through the rooms and around the walls gives a sense of daily life and military concerns from that era.

Access to the castle is available during specific seasons and limited hours. Visitors should prepare for outdoor conditions since much of the space is open to the weather.

The castle preserves original defensive elements like arrow slits and watchtowers that reveal how people defended themselves in medieval times. These features are rare examples of well-kept military structures from that period in this area.
