At the end of the 19th century, the banker Alexander Moritz Simon had a private city park created. He had a small knight's castle built in the middle of the park. The park no longer exists today, and only a ruin remains of the knight's castle. However, this was restored and expanded to a residential building.

Hiking

If you walk through Hanover's university district, you will unexpectedly discover a castle at the corner of Herrenhäuser Kirchweg and Strangriede.
The Hanoverian banker Moritz Simon had it built in 1860 in the Romanesque style.
It is currently privately owned and a residential building.

Maybe this is actually historicist-romantic kitsch, but interesting.
