Schloss Lowenburg
by Colzy
If you are visiting Herkules, don't walk straight down the hill to Schloss Wilhelmshohe. Instead take the route down the right hand side and you will encounter the beautiful Schloss Lowenburg (Lion Castle) that will almost appear out of the trees.
It is modelled on a medieval Scottish castle and is definitely worth a visit. You will find an outdoor maze adjacent to the castle that is also a bit of fun. Inside the castle there is a museum of arnaments and a museum of chivalry which are both worth a look.

Today, the university city is known for its Documenta - exhibitions of contemporary art, staged every four years since 1955. Kassel was almost completely destroyed during World War II because of the locomotive and panzer factories.
