Schloss Wietersheim

The three-story stone building stands on the eastern bank of the Weser River, nine kilometers north of Minden, featuring classical architectural elements.

Initially constructed in 1323 as a timber-framed structure, the castle served as a defensive fortification against the Counts of Hoya until the 18th century.

The property belonged to the Knights of Saint John until 1799, when it was sold to Minden Cathedral Chapter member Baron Philipp von Cornberg.

The castle operates as an event venue, offering spaces for weddings, corporate meetings, and celebrations from May through October in its cellars and beer garden.

The castle grounds included three separate garden areas until 1945, when the entire park was cleared during the post-World War II occupation period.
