Wewelsburg is a Renaissance castle that has a triangular layout - three round towers connected by massive walls. After 1934, it was used by the SS under Heinrich Himmler and was to be expanded into a complex acting as the central SS cult-site.
In 1950, the castle was reopened as a museum and a large youth hostel.
