Brakel

Brakel combines a compact historic centre with a rural Weser Uplands setting, reflecting its position on the Brucht in eastern North Rhine-Westphalia. The town developed as a Hanseatic trading place in the Middle Ages, a role that still gives its central streets a distinctly civic character. St Michael’s Church is among the landmarks of the old centre, while the surrounding district belongs to the rolling agricultural terrain between the Eggegebirge and the Weser valley. Brakel forms part of the Höxter district, where small towns and villages follow long-established routes across this corner of Westphalia.
