Bielefeld Hotels

The undeniable linchpin attraction in Bielefeld is Sparrenburg Castle. Visible from afar, the medieval monument soars over the cityscape and hosts a merry period festival every July. The Kunsthalle Bielefeld contains a remarkable collection of contemporary art and had a powerful patron in the billionaire scion of the Dr. Oetker business empire. For students and avid enthusiasts of architecture however, the museum’s most notable claim to fame is the fact that it endures as a standout Philip Johnson design. The late first recipient of the Pritzker Architecture Prize was arguably the most influential architect of the 20^th century and indeed, Bielefeld is fortunate to be part of the master’s legacy. Other must-see landmarks in Bielefeld include the Old Town Hall or Altes Rathaus, as well as the Neustädter Marienkirche and Altstädter Nicolaikirche.
