Culture and sights

Löwenberg Castle

Löwenberg Castle

Löwenberg Castle is a two-storey plastered mansion in the Baroque style with a hipped roof . It was built in the first half of the 18th century on the foundations of the medieval Löwenberg Castle. The castle lies on a plateau and was previously surrounded on all sides by a moat . Inside there is an oak staircase from the time the house was built with balusters . The medieval basement shows cross and barrel vaults .

Löwenberg village church

The Löwenberg village church is a large hall building made of stone blocks . It was built around the middle of the 13th century. A massive transverse tower joins the nave with a retracted choir in the west. The upper floor of the tower is late Gothic . In 1808 the church burned down and was restored in 1832/34. The tower was given a brick tower with a gable roof . Almost all the openings in the church were enlarged to form a round arch; only the double-stepped west portal and the group of three windows in the east wall retained their old shape. The hall has a flat ceiling and is separated from the choir. Around 1830 a wooden pulpit wall in the style of classicism and an organ were installed. The interior was painted ornamentally around 1905 with echoes of Art Nouveau . The choir was expanded in 1955 and the church was restored from 1986 to 1991.
