Tips
Varenholz Castle is a special representative of the Weser Renaissance. Varenholz Castle, built in the 12th century, was converted into a palace 200 years later in this style. At the time of the Second World War it was used as a training location for the Association of German Girls, before the foundation stone for today's youth welfare facility was laid after the war. That is why there is now a boarding school and a private secondary school in the castle. Other schools can also take trips there.
