Schloss Hamborn

The castle stands on a limestone cliff with a steep northern slope, constructed from natural stone featuring elements of Weser Renaissance architecture.

The estate dates back to the 9th century, with two manor houses unified in the mid-19th century by the von Hartmann family who built the east wing.

The castle houses a Waldorf school, kindergarten, sanatorium, nursing home, and various workshops operating under anthroposophical principles established by Rudolf Steiner.

The estate's organic farm produces cheese, bread, and meat products available for purchase at the on-site store, complemented by a cafe serving baked goods.

The property extends over 300 hectares and functions as a non-profit community integrating medical, agricultural, social, and educational facilities.
