Bökerhof, Literary museum and castle in Brakel, Germany
The Bökerhof estate features an eighteenth-century mansion with a north-western arcade and a surrounding park in the Detmold district of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The barons of Haxthausen constructed the Bökerhof castle during the eighteenth century, establishing it as a center for German literary gatherings.
The Bökendorfer Romantikerkreis circle met at the castle, bringing together notable figures including the Brothers Grimm, Brentano, and Annette von Droste-Hülshoff.
The castle remains private property, allowing visitors to view the exterior and walk through the accessible historic arcade that borders the palace park.
The castle grounds connect to multiple hiking trails, including a 21.5-kilometer expert route through the Naturpark Teutoburger Wald and Eggegebirge region.
