Insights into Herford's history - The last chance to experience history up close

The former British military site in Herford, Hammersmith Barracks, is opening its doors to the public for the last time. Before the site is transformed into a modern residential quarter, there is now a unique opportunity to experience this historic location in its original state.

Exclusive guided tours await you: Immerse yourself in the past and discover the hidden treasures of the former British barracks site: Explore the old horse stables, marvel at the indoor riding arena and wander through the former British Army blocks - a historical panorama awaits you. Our trained guides will accompany you around the grounds and give you a deep insight into Herford's diverse history.

For photography enthusiasts, we offer special Lost Place photo tours. These make it possible to capture atmospheric images in a unique setting - between abandoned corridors, weathered doors and authentic zeitgeist. Our photo tours are aimed at ambitious amateur photographers and professionals who are looking for unique motifs.
