Friendly service. In the café-restaurant there are delicious cakes and cappuccino. The terrace is also open in summer.

Because climbing the tower costs 1 euro. There is an animal exhibition and a great panoramic view of the forest and the landscape. The individual trees on the hills are particularly beautiful (in autumn) surrounded by yellow trees. It's worth it.

Today's castle was built in the mid-19th century in neo-Gothic and neo-Romanesque style as an imitation of a medieval fortified tower. It consists of a 26 m high tower in the style of a keep, flanked by two single-storey side wings in the style of a palace. There are no mantle walls or other fortifications; in this respect it is more of a residential tower than a castle in the classic sense. The castle now houses a restaurant for day trippers and occasional events. In the tower room there is an exhibition on the local flora and fauna. The crenellated viewing platform on the tower is accessible and offers a wide view over the city of Melle and the surrounding area, especially after hurricane Kyrill snapped off many surrounding trees in 2007. Around the castle was the more than 200 ha large wildlife park Diedrichsburg with numerous wild boars, moufflons and sika deer running free. The wildlife park was closed in 2021. The site is a popular excursion destination in the region and part of the TERRA.vita nature park. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diedrichsburg

Large imposing castle in a fantastic location.

A CASTLE - almost 900 years old and completely intact! First documented in 1160 - still architecturally characterized today by the Gothic residential tower (12th century) and the moat (from the Middle Ages) - initially the ancestral seat of the noblemen von Sledesen, then passed to the von Schele family through marriage (1396) - for 620 years until today (current administrator Joachim Kellermann von Schele). After a fire (1490), the Renaissance building in the Weser Renaissance style was built from the rubble stones. Later, the northern main moat was filled in and a north wing was built. From 1801, the castle courtyard was enlarged to the north. The most famous citizen of Schelenburg Castle was the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Hanover Eduard von Schele zu Schelenburg in 1805.

Although the restaurant in the Schellenberg moated castle has long been closed and the building is now used privately, it is still worth taking a look from the outside. The palace complex is well preserved and has been enthroned there since the 12th century. After a fire, the building was rebuilt from scratch in the 16th century. In 1980 the castle was completely renovated.
