The moated castle Hehlen in Hehlen in the district of Holzminden is a moated castle built for representation purposes, which is one of the earliest castles in the style of the Weser Renaissance. The castle was built between 1579 and 1584 by Colonel Fritz von der Schulenburg and his wife Ilse von Saldern. It was owned by the von der Schulenburg family until 1956. In 1958 the owner of the Hanover company Machwitz Kaffee, whose family still owns it today, bought it.
