Schloss Neu Barenaue

Schloss Neu Barenaue is a two-story château in English country house style with neo-Romanesque architecture marked by distinctive turrets and terraces. The building sits on a rectangular foundation and has been divided into six separate residential units.

Construction took place between 1857 and 1862 under architect Hermann Hunaeus, who designed it after English models. The von Bar family estate thus became an important example of Historicism in the region.

The château is linked to the region's past through a Roman coin collection that once attracted prominent historians to study the area. This assemblage helped establish the estate as a place of historical importance in local memory.

The estate sits in Bramsche and is surrounded by a garden with mature trees that now forms a private residential space. Keep in mind that this is a private residence and is not open to the public.

The estate contains a Roman coin collection that inspired Theodor Mommsen, a leading historian of his era, to investigate the location of the Varus Battle in the area. This connection to archaeological treasures makes the château more than just a residence.
