Das Schloss Berlepsch in Witzenhausen, Hessen, Central Germany is one of the outstanding historical buildings of the region. 650 years ago, the Berlepsch family built it – its foundation goes back to 1369. The medieval fortifications were repeatedly expanded and reconstructed in the 16th century after its destruction in the Thirty Years War. Especially the remodeling of the 1880s shaped its visual appearance today. Already from a distance, the visitor is presented the striking silhouette of the castle picturesquely situated on a mountain spur at the edge of the Werra river valley. Weddings and other events are held here. Opening hours are Wed-Sun/holidays from 12-21h; guided tours: Wed-Fri at 3 pm, Sat/Sun/holidays: 12h, 14h & 16h.

“Harry looked out for the first time at Ron’s house. It looked as though it had once been a large stone pigpen, but extra rooms had been added here and there until it was several stories high and so crooked it looked as though it were held up by magic (which, Harry reminded himself, it probably was). Four or five chimneys were perched on top of the red roof. A lopsided sign stuck in the ground near the entrance read, THE BURROW. Around the front door lay a jumble of rubber boots and a very rusty cauldron. Several fat brown chickens were pecking their way around the yard.“
