Schliestedt Palace is a palace in Schliestedt, in the district of Wolfenbüttel, Lower Saxony. It was built between 1748 and 1760 in the Rococo style on the site of a castle belonging to the von Schliestedt family. The palace is considered the most significant example of Rococo architecture in the Brunswick region. The palace's predecessor was a castle whose construction date is unknown. It was the seat of the von Schliestedt family, whose line died out in 1613. A copper engraving by Merian from 1654 shows the complex, consisting of a main building with a half-timbered upper story and an annex with a stone gatehouse. According to his description, the castle was already very old at that time, had a square shape, and was surrounded by a moat. As early as 1449, the Lords of Schliestedt (landowners from approximately 1147 to 1562) relinquished the castle to the Duke of Brunswick. The castle was owned by four noble families until 1527, after which it was granted as a fief to a chancellor of the Duke of Brunswick. The castle came into the possession of the von der Streithorst family as a ducal fief in 1562. They were followed by the von Badendorff family (1663–1733), Lowisen (Luise) von der Planitz, widow of von Badendorff (1734–1741), and in 1747, Heinrich Bernhard Schrader von Schliestedt, with the permission of Duke Karl I, purchased the castle complex. He demolished it and, not far from the castle site, built the two-story Rococo palace that stands today, according to plans by Martin Peltier de Belfort. The owners subsequently included the von Bülow family (1777–1846), the von Schwicheldt family, and the von Adelebsen family (1846–1929). After various changes of ownership and different uses, Schliestedt Palace has been a retirement home since 1950.

I didn't know it until yesterday. Very beautiful castle with a bridge to the main entrance over the former moat. I found the gravestone of the house dog "Dame" from 1808 impressive.

After the von Honrodt family died out, Wilhelm von Veltheim bought back the Veltheim an der Ohe family estate for the family in 1832. It has been in her possession ever since. The farmer Alexander von Veltheim is currently the mayor of Veltheim (Ohe). (Source: Wikipedia)

A lock, I was quite surprised and was allowed to convince myself of the inner workings.

It's worth it in any season. In the leafless 🍁 state you have a nice view of the ruins.

Very well-kept facility. As a cyclist, it might be better to dismount and push a few meters.
