Our rating: 7.40
Overall rating:
An excellent example of a North German town. In the pictures on the Internet it looks like a fairy-tale town on the river, and that's true.

The old town is very compact, there are only two streets and it's easy to walk around in an hour. The half-timbered houses are built of red bricks, traditional for the north of the country. They are very well preserved as during the Second World War the town was almost undamaged.

From the lower town we went up to the upper town, where the castle and park are located. However, only the tower, built between 1457 and 1477, remained of the castle, and the castle itself was destroyed during the siege in 1656.

The park has a restaurant with an outdoor terrace and a beautiful view of Lower Saxony, which is located on the other side of the river. It turns out that during the Cold War, Lauenburg was located on the border between rotting communism and the progressive west.
