At the end of the Thirty Years' War in 1648, it was decreed that Osnabrück should henceforth be governed alternately by a Catholic and a Protestant prince-bishop. In 1662, the Lutheran Welf Ernst August of Brunswick-Lüneburg took over this office. In order to meet his representative wishes and at the same time limit the city of Osnabrück's efforts to become independent, the Prince-Bishop's Palace on Neuer Graben was built between 1667 and 1675 in the Baroque style. The four-wing complex had a private chapel and a ballroom in the main building with its four floors. The design of the Baroque garden according to the plans of the well-known garden architect Martin Charbonnier was the responsibility of the Prince-Bishop's wife in particular, who incorporated the impressions she had gathered in France. With the abolition of the old empire in 1803, the castle lost its function as a prince-bishop's residence and was used for administrative purposes from then on. The Osnabrück castle was badly damaged by bombing raids in the Second World War, only the outer walls remained. The building was rebuilt by 1953. The castle garden was redesigned on its original site by Prof. Werner Lendholt. After the Pedagogical University initially used the castle, the premises were integrated into the new University of Osnabrück in 1973, which has had its administrative headquarters in the castle since 1974. The departments of music/musicology and Protestant theology are also housed in the main building. Today, the former residence of the Osnabrück prince-bishops is characterized by student life. https://erleben.osnabrueck.de/de/stadt-erleben/sehenswertes/schloss-osnabrueck/

In 1703, Franz Ostman (* 1645) built the manor house with the two side buildings on Leye. On September 24, 1705, he was awarded the title “von der Leye” as a hereditary title of nobility.

Outside the castle there is a very clear sign saying "Photography prohibited" That's why I haven't uploaded a photo here.

Neu Barenau Castle is a two-story castle in Bramsche. The von Bar family had the two-story, neo-Romanesque manor house built between 1857 and 1862 below the Kalkriese mountain by the Hanoverian architect Hermann Hunaeus in the English country house style. They previously lived in the moated castle Alt Barenaue, which is now located on the other side of the Mittelland Canal. The castle is privately owned, so it can only be viewed from the outside.

Great old moated castle, a bit run down, but that's what makes it so fascinating.

History The von Bar family owned a collection of Roman coins found by farmers in the surrounding area. Commissioned by Theodor Mommsen, the Berlin numismatist Julius Menadier recorded 1 aureus, 179 denarii, and 2 aces in 1884. Mommsen then hypothesized that the site of the Battle of Varus had been in the Kalkriese-Niewedder depression on the Kalkriese mountain. The collection was lost during the occupation by Allied troops in 1945.

In June 2020, the new permanent exhibition “Police Violence and Forced Labor” was opened in the castle, which addresses the numerous violent measures taken by the Gestapo against foreign forced laborers during the Second World War.

Old Osnabrück castle, beautiful courtyard and great architecture.
