Schloss Wrisbergholzen

Schloss Wrisbergholzen is a baroque castle in Sibbesse with a three-wing main structure and six large outbuildings arranged in front. The grounds are organized around water features and gardens that surround the complex.

The castle was built between 1740 and 1745 by Baron Rudolf Johann von Wrisberg to replace an earlier medieval fortification. The new construction marked a shift from a defensive structure to a family residence focused on display and comfort.

The White Hall spans two floors with detailed stucco work, representing the refinement of German baroque design. The rooms convey an impression of artistic wealth that the family expressed through decoration and choice of materials.

Access to the grounds is by crossing a bridge over the water-filled moat surrounding the castle complex. Visitors should expect uneven terrain and potentially damp conditions, especially after rainfall.

One interior room contains roughly 800 emblem tiles covering its walls in Dutch decorative style, a rare example of this technique in Germany. This elaborate ornamentation was a sign of the family's wealth and international artistic taste.
