Rastede Palace

The castle was formerly the residence of the Counts and Grand Dukes of the House of Oldenburg. Even today, the castle is still family-owned and therefore not open to the public. However, you can enjoy the English-style parkland surrounding the castle.

The castle in Rastede was the residence of the counts and grand dukes of the House of Oldenburg for a long time and is still owned by the family today. The building is an example of Oldenburg classicism, which was brought to Oldenburg by Duke Peter Friedrich Ludwig, and is also the most important secular building in the Ammerland. The castle, which is not open to the public, is located in the middle of an English-style park landscape. Opposite the castle is the community-owned Erbprinzenpalais, which is used today for cultural events and houses the community archive.

The castle was once the summer residence of Count Anton Günther.
