Schaumburg Castle

Schaumburg Castle was established somewhere in the 12th century. Initially a major military fortress, it was later transformed into a residential structure. Today, the castle, which is made primarily of basaltic rock, shaped like an octagon with towers in the corners. Only the outer bailey and the southern door still remain from the earlier fortress, other buildings date from the restoration made in 1850-1855.
