The Elector's Summer Residence With the creation of the spa park in 1787, Bad Nenndorf became a popular destination for day trips. Landgrave William IX of Hesse-Kassel recognized this potential. Just a few years after the town's development, he commissioned the construction of the Landgrave's House. It was intended to serve as his summer residence. The presence of the future Elector also attracted other prominent guests, giving the town an additional boost. Among the most famous guests, some of whom also stayed at the Landgrave's House, were renowned writers such as Goethe, Schiller, and Herder. However, the Elector was not able to enjoy the Landgrave's House for long. It was not fully completed until 1806. Only a year later, French troops marched into the town and occupied the small palace. Jérôme Bonaparte, the new King of Westphalia, became its new resident. He also introduced mud baths to the town, a spa treatment that is now widely recognized. In 1934, a fire completely destroyed the building. Fortunately, the original building plans from 1791 were still available, allowing the Landgrave's House to be reconstructed almost exactly as it had been. Since then, as before the fire, the building has once again been used as a coffee house. It is also open to the public during set opening hours.

It stands in one of the most beautiful spots in Bad Nenndorf's spa park: the small castle – built in 1806 in the Neoclassical style. Initially, the building served as the summer residence of Landgrave Wilhelm I, the future Elector. However, just two years later, King Jérôme moved in. Napoleon's brother subsequently held many lively celebrations here – earning him the nickname "King Merry." From 1866 onward, the rooms served as lodgings for prominent spa guests. In 1891, the facade was given a triangular gable, and the romantic attic rooms disappeared. In the following years, several reading and writing rooms, a library, and a small museum were created on the ground floor. Today, the small castle can be described as a "house for special occasions": Couples can exchange vows in style in the specially furnished wedding room – and then celebrate extensively on-site. The building not only houses a café but also festive rooms that can be rented exclusively. And those who wish can spend truly special nights in the two double rooms or the suite on the upper floor – for example, after readings or classical concerts that regularly take place in the garden hall. Outside the small castle, by the way, stand two old stone bathtubs. They are relics from the 18th century – the time when bathing began in Nenndorf. Allegedly, there were once six such tubs. The whereabouts of the other four, however, remain unknown. Source: https://deister-erleben.de/schloesschen-im-kurpark/

Stadthagen is a planned settlement founded in 1225 as indago comitis adolphi (Hagen of Count Adolf). For this purpose, he had the forest cleared and a castle built. Stadthagen also received a city wall around 1400, parts of which still survive from this period. Today, Stadthagen still boasts a beautiful old town, where the planned construction is still clearly visible. The entire fortifications can also be explored in a beautiful park, allowing you to walk around the entire town.

The size of this castle surprised me. Viewing only with a completed tax return and correct tax number 😉

The spa park is a great place to relax and take a stroll, especially when the weather is nice. There is a lot to discover here: the romantic little castle, beautiful flowerbeds, fountains and the enchanted Süntelbuchenallee. Definitely worth a visit!

At the Viehmarkt, a square that was still between the city wall and the ramparts in the late Middle Ages, there is a watchtower from the former city fortifications. It was built in 1423. In Stadthagen, however, the entire course of the city wall can still be seen. This was built after the invention of firearms to protect the city from being attacked by them. The former wall is now a green area with a walking path that can be used to walk around the entire city center. Source: https://www.quermania.de/niedersachsen-bremen/stadthagen/turm-viehmarkt.php
