Burg Lippspringe

Burg Lippspringe is a castle in Bad Lippspringe with heavy stone walls, two corner towers, and a double moat system. The structure sits directly beside the Lippe spring within the town's spa gardens.

The castle was first mentioned in 1312 and belonged to the Paderborn Cathedral chapter. It endured multiple sieges and suffered severe damage during the Thirty Years War.

The castle served as a center of power for the Paderborn Church and shaped life in the surrounding region for centuries. The buildings still reflect this religious past and the role the place held in medieval society.

The castle grounds are very close to the spa facilities and fit easily into a walk through the gardens. Visitors should expect uneven paths and steep stairs, especially if climbing the towers.

The castle was strategically positioned to control the Lippe spring, a vital resource in medieval times. This location was the primary reason for its construction and its lasting importance in the region.
