Detmold is better known as the city of culture in the Teutoburg Forest (Germany).
More than 600 historic buildings adorn the city. Small half-timbered houses alternate with proud plastered buildings.
Detmold is the city of culture for everyone. The Regional Theatre Detmold, the Highschool for Music and the Summer Theatre offer a broad spectrum of performances ranging from classic to modern.
A varied programme of open-air events in a historic ambience, such as the Summer Stage and the International Street Theatre Festival, cabaret and more, has secured Detmold`s reputation as a cultural centre.
The Literature Office OWL, numerous museums, schools, colleges and the Lippe State Library all contribute to a fertile cultural climate.
In the centre of the old town, the Residence Castle, built in the Weser Renaissance style, imparts an unforgettable look in the past.
Detmold is located directly at the ridge of mountains of the Teutoburg Forest.
