Schloss Ovelgönne, Renaissance water castle in Bad Oeynhausen, Germany.

The stone castle features a rectangular structure surrounded by a moat, with symmetrical windows and traditional architectural elements from the 17th century.

The estate, first documented in 922, belonged to the Abdinghofen Monastery in Paderborn and later passed through various noble families until 1940.

The castle now serves as a civic center, hosting municipal gatherings, weddings, conferences, and various social functions throughout the year.

Visitors can access the castle grounds freely when no events are taking place, while the interior spaces require advance reservations for tours or events.

The local registry office conducts civil marriage ceremonies in the castle once every month, maintaining a connection to municipal administration.
