North of Bückeburg is the former hunting lodge tree, a small summer residence with gardens of the Bückeburg Count Wilhelm and his family, this in the time
Built in 1759-1765 in the late Baroque style.
Today, the castle is home to the "Schloß Baum" leisure and conference center, an educational center of the Protestant Youth Foundation Schaumburg-Lippe.
In the castle itself seminars, educational events, holidays and weekend camps can be organized. The facility is open to youth groups, associations and schools.
A little history:
In the summer Johann Gottfried von Herder had to stay in this castle
Court preacher and chief Schaumburg-Lippe church officials, on Sundays
appear to preach to the count's family. Since he is very sober
thinking Count Wilhelm zu Schaumburg-Lippe did not understand well,
These Sunday sermons were a torment for poor Herder, like him
in a letter dated 22.8.1772 to his fiancée: "... every new sermon (is)
I'm a bit disgusting. "He got along all the better with Count Wilhelm's wife,
the pious fair-haired Countess Marie Barbara Eleonore, b. Countess zu Lippe
Biesterfeld, which in turn was an occasion for jealousy for Count Wilhelm.
Countess Marie died here on June 16, 1776, her 32nd birthday
in the castle tree, in the right room upstairs on the first floor!
