Car Rental at 'Bielefeld - City'

The city is rich in various attractive architectural and historical landmarks. Sparrenburg Castle is considered the oldest building in Bielefeld. The building of the castle started in 1240 and lasted nearly 10 years. The magnificent castle is built on one of the highest hills in the region. For many years, Sparrenburg was the major protective facility of the city, so it had to endure many sieges. The fortress has a large system of underground passages – tourists will surely see them during an excursion in the castle. Several years ago, Sparrenburg was completely restored and so several nice observation decks appeared near it. Tourists, who only start exploring the city, are recommended to start exactly from this landmark.
Neustädter Marienkirche is a no less important architectural landmark of the region. Constructed at the beginning of the 15th century, the church is, indeed, a fabulous example of gothic architecture. There are several memorial sarcophagi in the church. Several noble residents of the city who lived in the 15th – 17th centuries are buried there. The beautiful church exhibits precious religious artifacts, such as old icons and crucifixions that have been at Neustädter Marienkirche since its opening.

Alter Markt is one more interesting landmark that definitely deserves a visit. There is a beautiful fountain on this square, Merkurbrunnen. Walk in this area to see several beautiful old mansions and the famous Crüwell-Haus. The Theater am Alten Markt located nearby is also a prominent landmark of Bielefeld. The gorgeous theater is open in the building of an old city hall.
