Why visit
From 1655 until 1918 Bad Arolsen was the residence of the Princes of Waldeck-Pyrmont, and its name comes from an Augustinian nunnery founded here in 1131.
Origins and history
The earliest documents mentioning Arolsen date back to 1131, when an Augustinian nunnery was established there under the name Aroldessen. The nunnery was secularised in 1526 and in 1655 became the residence of the Counts, later Princes, of Waldeck, who converted it into a stately home; the town remained the capital until 1929 and took the name Bad, spa, in 1997.
