Lemgo

Lemgo lies along the Bega River, between the wooded Lippe uplands and the North German Plain. A former Hanseatic town, it preserves an unusually cohesive historic core, where gabled merchants’ houses and timber-framed buildings follow streets with medieval origins. St Nicholas Church, begun in the 13th century, and the Town Hall, notable for its Renaissance apothecary’s bay window, anchor the centre. Lemgo’s place in the history of the Lippe territory is also visible at Brake Castle, a Renaissance residence that served the Lords and Counts of Lippe.
