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

Unfortunately, the facility is a bit old. But it's definitely worth a photo stop.

Very nice old moated castle but the ravages of time have left their mark.

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
