From Sparrenburg’s tower, the Teutoburg Forest fills the view above the old gabled houses of Alter Markt.
Estimated journey times
First recorded in 1256, Sparrenburg guarded a pass through the Teutoburg Forest. Its ramparts and tower give a clear view over the wooded ridge and downtown; underground casemates reveal the fortress’s later defenses.
At the Alter Markt, historic gabled houses surround the former town hall. The nearby Leineweber-Denkmal recalls linen weaving, once central to local trade and industry.
