The most famous sight is the Bevern Castle , one of the most important architectural monuments of the Weser Renaissance , built between 1603 and 1612 according to the specifications of the client Statius von Münchhausen . It is a regular four-wing complex with ornate tail gables, with two diagonally opposite stair towers around a square inner courtyard with a moat, two bridges and a castle garden.
In 1986 the district of Holzminden took over the castle from the community and has been continuously expanding it into a cultural center since then. It is the permanent home of the Bevern Local History Museum and every summer it offers a beautiful setting for the “Nocturnal Castle” event, during which the castle courtyard is illuminated with elaborate lighting effects.

Here, above all, the history of Bevern Castle is presented against the background of the biography of Statius von Münchhausen, which is characterized by breaks and incisions, in a special staging with a total of 19 experience stations. Topics include warfare and the rapidly growing money economy with speculation and money lending.
