The later manor emerged from one or more farms. The two-story manor house is striking, surrounded by a wide moat and accessible via three bridges. The basement and ground floor are made of quarry stone masonry - largely unplastered - while the high upper floor is a half-timbered building with plastered compartments. The building was probably built in the 16th century. As a half-timbered building, it is one of the older manor houses in the Calenberger Land. Beginning of the 17th century. The (first) renovations have been carried out, which is indicated by a bay window on the east side designed in the Renaissance style with "1611" as the year of construction. In 1866, further renovations were carried out in the neo-Gothic style, with parts of the external masonry being massively replaced and the stone stair tower, a gallery, a bay window and a turret being added. The manor includes a spacious park with old trees. The avenue that begins behind the park and leads to the Munzeler Mark forest is remarkable. The manor goes back to property owned by the Counts of Schaumburg, who gave it out as a fiefdom. This was associated with a seat in the knight's curia of the Calenberg state estates (state parliament) and exemption from the sovereign's service obligations. In 1743 Georg Reinhard Langwerth v. Simmern, ancestor of the current owners, the manor. Source: https://www.barsinghausen.de/portal/seiten/wichtringhausen-903000177-20002.html

The moated castle shell de, near Hanover, located in the valley between Deister and Süntel, was built between 1529 and 1548 as a four-winged complex. It is a typical example of an early Renaissance building in the Weser area. The outstanding art-historical value of the castle lies in the original structure of the 16th century. The moated castle and the courtyard buildings are listed buildings and have been extensively restored over the past thirty years. The entire facility and the associated agriculture have been family-owned for over 400 years. Source: https://schloss-huelsede.de/das-schloss/

Hagenburg Castle, the forerunner of Hagenburg Castle, was first mentioned in a document in 1369 as Hagenborch. It probably goes back to the Counts of Schaumburg, when they set foot on the Steinhuder Meer in the 14th century. The castle was probably used in the early 14th century to secure the settlement of Hagenburg, which was built in the second half of the 13th century. From the 14th century onwards, the castle was often mortgaged and later served as the administrative seat of the Hagenburg district. In 1518 the brothers Anton and Johann zu Holstein-Schaumburg were enfeoffed with the castle by the Hessian landgrave. The lords of Heimburg sat here as their ministerials until 1558, after that Ludolf Klencke was. In 1558 Klencke had a gatehouse built and the castle rebuilt. In the living quarters he installed a spiral staircase. In 1574 his son Ernst Ludolf arranged for some renovations and the construction of a sheepfold.

The laying of the foundation stone for the moated castle Hülsede took place in the early 16th century. With its four-leaf structure, it is a typical example of Weser Renaissance palaces.
