Weitmar Castle Park

The Schlosspark Weitmar in Bochum is an important cultural and natural area that impresses with its diverse offerings. The site includes the four-storey cube built by Situation Kunst in 2010 and the underground museum, which opened in 2015 and presents changing exhibitions on an area of around 1,500 square meters. The park is home to 14 works of concrete art created by seven artists between 1972 and 2015. The adjacent 80-hectare Weitmarer Holz forest and a picturesque pond offer space for recreation. The well-maintained paths, children's playgrounds and benches invite you to linger. As part of the 2010 redesign, the ruins of the Sylvester Chapel were also renovated, giving the park a historical dimension.
