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

The open-air museum is located on the site of the former Rodenberg Castle, which was later converted into a palace. This "museum island" is surrounded by a moat and houses the Ständehaus, the only surviving building of the old palace, which was badly damaged by fire in 1859. In the Ständehaus there is an exciting exhibition to discover that brings the history of the region to life.

Stadthagen Castle, belonging to the then-ruling counts and later princely house of Schaumburg-Lippe, was built between 1535 and 1539 by Count Adolf XI in Stadthagen on the site of a predecessor structure. This was a moated castle built in 1224 by Count Adolf III of Schaumburg in a clearing in the Dülwald forest. First documented in 1244, the castle must have been part of the town's founding from the very beginning, as its two streets were aligned with it. Extensive construction work is documented for the period around 1300. In 1304, a "house" is mentioned in the castle. In 1406, three castle guards are mentioned. The 15th-century gatehouse was later incorporated into the west wing of the castle. The new castle building, beginning in 1535, was planned and built by master builder Jörg Unkair, who came from Lustnau near Tübingen and had previously worked at the Cistercian monastery of Bebenhausen. He himself selected Obernkirchen sandstone from the Bückeberg near Obernkirchen. The residential palace was designed as a spacious, square, four-winged complex, with its northwest corner open to the town. The dormer windows and wing gables – Italian gables – resemble those of the Schelenburg near Osnabrück, which Unkair had previously built. However, since in Stadthagen, unlike at Schelenburg, he did not have to consider the medieval castle remains, the palace appears welcoming both internally and externally. It was built purely as a residential palace, without any military functions. After its completion in 1539, the Schaumburg state government moved in the following year; the tax and finance authorities also had their headquarters here. In 1608, the government and residence of the Schaumburg counts were relocated to Bückeburg. Later, the palace served as a widow's residence and the residence of the Crown Prince. A comprehensive restoration took place in 1875. After the First World War, the castle became the property of the newly founded Free State of Schaumburg-Lippe in 1919, and of the state of Lower Saxony since 1946. The castle is considered the oldest and most influential Weser Renaissance monument in Lower Saxony. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Stadthagen

The historic Weser Renaissance estate Rittergut Remeringhausen is located in the beautiful Schaumburg region near Hanover and Minden. Family-owned for 22 generations, the property is now the home of the owner family and a well-known event location for special events.

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

Very nice to go for a walk. Cafe Lusthaus in the immediate vicinity

The fireplace hall is used as an event location. Today the tax office is in here. A visit is therefore not possible.

Beautiful view
