Ulenburg Castle

N 52°13.53', E 8°41.198'
2023-07-02
Our rating: 5.40
Overall rating:
The sandstone castle in the Weser Renaissance style was built on the site of a former farm between 1568 and 1570. In 1902 - 1912 the complex was extended and, in particular, the garden area was modified. A date of 1299 hangs above the entrance to the castle, but it is erroneous.

In 1927, Diakonische Stiftung Wittekindshof, a social enterprise for people with mental disabilities, bought the castle and until 2008 maintained an asylum there to care for mentally ill people. In 2014, the castle was taken over by the Yezidi community and an education and training centre for Yezidis from all over Europe is planned to be built there.

The Yezidis are Kurds who practise a separate religion, see wikipedia for more information.

The territory of the castle, including the small park, is open for free visit.
