Burg Lauenrode, Medieval castle ruins in Hanover, Germany
The castle remains stood on the western bank of the Leine River, opposite the Beginen Tower of the Hanover city wall.
Built around 1215 for the Counts of Roden, the fortress served as a power center until citizens of Hanover destroyed it in 1371.
The castle represented the administrative center for Count Conrad II, who adopted the name 'von Lauenrode' to establish his connection to the fortress.
No visible structures remain at the site, which is now located near the former Preussag administration building at Leibnizufer.
Archaeological excavations in 1951 revealed fragments of the original castle moat and wall sections beneath the current ground level.
