Schloss Bokeloh, Cultural heritage château in Wunstorf, Germany
Schloss Bokeloh sits at the southwestern end of Bokeloh, surrounded by castle moats in the lowland area of Westaue.
The castle, constructed in the 13th century by Bishop Ludolf of Minden, served as the administrative seat of Bokeloh under the Counts of Schaumburg.
The structure represents northern German castle architecture, with its three-wing layout including a brewery, residential buildings, horse stables, and peat storage.
The castle buildings underwent renovations in the 1910s and currently function as private residences, limiting public access to exterior views.
Archaeological excavations in the 19th century revealed foundations of a square tower, while remaining buildings date back to the 16th century.
