About Wasserfestung Ziegenhain

Fortifications, Historic, Interesting Places, Castles

Die Wasserfestung Ziegenhain ist ein barocker Festungsbau im Schwalmstädter Stadtteil Ziegenhain im Schwalm-Eder-Kreis in Nordhessen. Nach den Militärbauten in Kassel, Gießen und Rüsselsheim war sie die viertgrößte Befestigungsanlage während des Dreißigjährigen Kriegs in Hessen. In diesem Krieg wurde die Festung nicht eingenommen, widerstand allen Belagerungen und war daher Anlass für die Bildung des Sprichworts „So fest wie Ziegenhain“. Die Anlage steht unter Denkmalschutz.
