Marienburg

Can you hear the birds singing? Imagine centuries ago, the sound of hammers and saws echoing across the water as the first stones of this mighty water castle were laid. Look up, see the battlements? Perhaps guards once stood there, watching for travelers or potential threats. Behind you flows the Innerste, whose marshlands provided a perfect natural defense for the castle. Did you know that bishops of Hildesheim once resided here? They took advantage of the seclusion to govern and plan in peace. As you stand here, try to picture yourself as part of this medieval life, surrounded by the intriguing stories of the past.
