Erichsburg

Erichsburg is a medieval castle in Dassel featuring thick stone walls, defensive towers, and fortified structures. The layout shows typical castle design with reinforced ramparts and buildings arranged around a central courtyard.

The castle was built in medieval times as a fortress and served as a key strategic point in the region. Over the centuries it was expanded and modified to meet changing defensive needs.

The castle served as a seat of power for a local noble family and shaped regional life for centuries. Visitors can still see the spaces that reflect this historical role today.

The castle is located in flat Lower Saxony countryside and is easily accessible by car. Wear sturdy shoes since paths cross historical grounds and parts of the structure sit on uneven terrain.

The castle still preserves sections of an old moat system that once held water and reinforced the defensive line. This system remains partially visible today and shows how carefully the fortifications were planned.
