Brake Castle was rebuilt as the residence of the Counts zur Lippe in the Renaissance style from 1587 on. It is surrounded by a moat and is erected on the foundation walls of one of the largest medieval castles in northern Germany. Its striking tower, visible from a distance, makes it the landmark of the old Hanse town of Lemgo.
