Schloss Blumenau, Heritage castle in Wunstorf, Germany.

The two-story brick castle features an octagonal entrance tower with battlements and combines British architectural elements with local building traditions.

Eduard von Kielmansegg, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Hanover, constructed Schloss Blumenau in 1865 as his retirement residence.

The castle displays a combination of brick architecture, light sandstone structuring, and Gothic-inspired elements that reflect 19th-century German architectural preferences.

The castle underwent renovation work in 1985 and 1986, and currently houses private apartments while maintaining its protected status as a cultural monument.

Before the current castle, a medieval water fortress stood in Blumenau, first mentioned in 1320 as the New House.
