Schloss Stadthagen, Renaissance château in Stadthagen, Germany.

The castle forms a quadrangular complex with four wings, featuring high gables decorated with semi-circular tops and ornamental spheres in Renaissance style.

Built between 1535 and 1539 by Count Adolf XI of Schaumburg, the castle replaced a water fortress from 1224 and served as residence for the Schaumburg rulers.

The south wing contains notable ceremonial fireplaces by Flemish sculptor Arend Robin, including reliefs depicting the Triumph of Elements from 1576 and Four Seasons.

The castle, owned by the state of Lower Saxony since 1946, currently functions as the local tax office and requires advance registration for guided tours.

The castle includes original structures such as a 15th-century gatehouse integrated into the west wing and a sundial from 1497 on the corner of the coach house.
