Historical Museum of the Prince Bishopric of Paderborn

Wewelsburg castle, formerly the castle of the Prince Bishops of Paderborn, is home to a Museum on the History of the Prince Bishopric. The museum contains twenty-nine rooms and covers three floors (four in the southeast tower). Despite the old building’s complex design, all but two of the rooms are accessible with wheelchairs. Visitors should allow themselves at least an hour to go round the entire museum.
