Lucca Castle was an early medieval lowland castle near Loccum.
The tower mound castle of the Counts of Lucca from the 11th/12th century can be recognized as a mighty, round earth mound. Parts of the 2 m wide curtain wall have been preserved. Around 1113 and 1130, a Count Burchard of Lucca is mentioned in documents. His daughter Beatrice von Lucca married Count Wilbrand von Hallermund, who became his successor and heir. In 1163, he donated the surrounding land to Cistercian monks to found the monastery of Loccum.
