Culture

Vlotho Castle was built around 1250 by Heinrich von Oldenburg to control the Weser and the trade routes that converged in Vlotho. The surviving ruins of the castle document the changes in the history of the castle and the town and offer a wide view over the valley.

Vlotho developed into an important centre of shipping on the Weser; long-distance trade routes once converged here. St. Stephen’s Church contains objects that commemorate Vlotho’s boatmen on the Weser. The location of Vlotho Castle was connected to the former ferry service at the Weser harbour. In Vlotho, the Kulturfabrik has developed into a cultural centre and a meeting place for cultural events and education.
