Schloss Schönfeld, Renaissance castle in Kassel, Germany.
Schloss Schönfeld is a castle in Kassel surrounded by three moats that define its entire grounds. The building combines Renaissance elements with later Neo-Renaissance features that give it a distinctive character.
A medieval fortress was transformed in the 16th century by Hans von Dehn-Rothfelser into a Renaissance castle. This conversion marks the beginning of its life as a noble residence and remains visible in its design today.
The interior features wooden beam ceilings decorated with heraldic symbols and ornamental tendrils that reflect its past as a noble residence. These crafted details shape the rooms today and speak to the grandeur of earlier times.
The site is accessible by public transportation, with parking available opposite the castle bridge for those arriving by car. It is worth checking opening hours and general information online before your visit.
The castle houses two permanent exhibitions, one dedicated to the art of magic. Regular performances bring this special focus to life for visitors.
