Philippsburg, Baroque château in Leer, Germany

The Philippsburg stands as a three-winged structure with a mansard roof and stone lions flanking the entrance portal in the Loga district of Leer.

Baron Philipp von Wedel commissioned the construction of Philippsburg in 1730, and Botho Graf von Wedel added an additional floor during renovations in 1906.

The entrance portal displays the coat of arms of the Grafen von Wedel family, representing centuries of noble East Frisian heritage in Lower Saxony.

The property includes both private and municipal park sections, with the private area hosting a biennial event called Märchen und Musik im Park.

The mansion maintains elements of Dutch Baroque architecture with its open facade facing the street and original gable remnants visible in the central building.
