Old estate that is now used as a stud farm. Unfortunately, the main building has not been renovated and a few windows are broken.

Elmarshausen moated castle

The place was first mentioned in documents in 1123 as "Egelmareshusun". After the Lords of Helfenberg and Gudenberg, Hermann von der Malsburg received the estate as a fief in 1534, which has been in the family ever since. Von der Malsburg had the castle of the Lords of Gudenberg converted into a palace.

Elmarshausen Castle was built in the style of the so-called Weser Renaissance. This is evident, among other things, in the partially preserved east facade of the castle, whose dormer windows end with semicircular tops ("Weser gables"). Elmarshausen is therefore the southernmost example of this architectural style.

Various renovations in the 18th and 19th centuries changed the work completed in 1563. The Renaissance gables were partially replaced by flat triangular gables.

Elmarshausen Castle was an independent estate district and has been a district of Wolfhagen since 1928. The castle complex now houses an important Trakehner stud farm. For animal and disease protection reasons, it may not be entered without permission.

Guided tours for groups are offered upon prior registration.
