This is more than just a country castle. Here is the tourist information office, Café Fritz and the Biosphaerium. The Biosphaerium includes the aquarium, the beaver house and the observation tower. Entry costs €7, it's worth it. The observation tower can only be accessed via the Biosphere.

The castle is the location of various events.

Everything about beavers and the biosphere reserve, well made for young and old.

Only part of the round tower remains of the former moated castle, the age of which cannot be precisely determined. Duke Ernst II of Braunschweig Lüneburg had the older, still existing castle wing built in 1600, and the newer one was built in 1742. Under the Prussian administration, the Bleckede and Neuhaus offices were merged to form the Bleckede district on April 1, 1885.

After the Löwenstat was founded by Duke Wilhelm of Lüneburg in 1209, a moated castle was built around 1270, of which the tower and the moats, first mentioned in 1287, have largely been preserved. After centuries of being pledged to the city of Lüneburg, the castle came back into Guelph hands in 1561.

Duke Ernst of Braunschweig and Lüneburg built the north wing with decorative wood carvings. In 1743 the west wing was rebuilt. In 1827, the Hanover local writer Auguste von der Elbe was born here.

The castle was the seat of the bailiff for the Bleckede office until 1885, then the seat of the administration of the Bleckede district until 1932, and finally the seat of the district court until 1974.

The Otto Meissner Verlag was housed in the north wing from 1948 to 1983, the branch of the Barendorf adult education center was housed in the west wing from 1976 to 1996, and the coach house became an artists' facility.

After extensive restoration, the castle opened in 2002 as an information center for the Lower Saxony Elbe Valley Biosphere Reserve. This cultural landscape is presented in a modern way on around 1,000 square meters; Since 2011, the fish of the Elbe and the Elbe beavers can also be experienced live.”
