Wohldenberg Castle (Burg Wohldenberg)

Our rating: 6.60
Overall rating:
Small and little known ruins of a castle dating back to 1153. Although most of it is not preserved, the castle is located in a forest and is quite picturesque.

The castle originally belonged to families, but most of the time, as today, it belonged to the Diocese of Hildesheim.

The building on the right is the Catholic Church of St. Hubertus (Kath. Pfarrkirche St. Hubertus), built in Baroque style in 1731, and on the left is a residential building (used as a parish house since 1731).

The defensive tower above the castle gate was converted into a church bell tower.

Entrance to the area is free. Since 1858, the Hanoverian government has been carrying out restoration work and a viewing platform has been set up in the tower, which can still be accessed today. During World War II, the tower was equipped with an anti-aircraft gun.

The castle was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War in 1641 and subsequently fell into disrepair. In 1802 secularization, the confiscation of church property, began, and the inhabitants of the neighboring villages dismantled the remains of the castle to build a large sheep stable. Most of the buildings were demolished, leaving only the church, the parish priest's house and the tower.

At the castle, we met donkeys and... peacocks.
