Description Destination
In the historic town center of Lahr is the remains of a Geroldseck castle built around 1220, which became the nucleus of the Lahr settlement. Part of the outer wall of the palace (residential building) of the castle and a corner tower have been preserved. This tower, now known as the "Stork Tower," is one of four round corner towers of the fort.
In 1278, the settlement that had formed in front of the castle was granted town rights. After being destroyed in the 17th and 18th centuries, the castle was acquired by the city in the second half of the 18th century and demolished. The Stork Tower served as a prison until 1861 and was therefore preserved.
Numerous stonemason's marks can still be seen on the rusticated blocks of the outer wall. The windows on the north and east walls still indicate the castle's former palace.
