Schloss Rethmar

The three-winged manor house features baroque architecture with extensive wings, multiple entrances, and traditional German architectural elements throughout its structure.

Originally constructed as a defensive fortress in 1264, the castle underwent major renovations around 1700 to transform into the current baroque residence.

The central staircase displays 40 ancestral portraits, representing generations of noble families who inhabited the castle throughout its existence.

Located at Gutsstraße in Sehnde, the castle now contains 18 rental apartments in its side wings while maintaining its historical exterior.

The castle shifts approximately half a millimeter southward annually due to its marshy foundation, requiring door maintenance every five years.
