Schloss Hämelschenburg, Renaissance water castle in Emmerthal, Germany.
The castle features two prominent towers, a protective moat, and exhibits architectural elements characteristic of the Weser Renaissance period in Lower Saxony.
Built between 1409 and 1414 by the Counts of Everstein, the castle underwent reconstruction from 1588 to 1618 after a devastating fire in 1544.
The castle houses a private museum displaying furniture, paintings, and art objects spanning from the Renaissance to the Wilhelmine period of German history.
Guided tours of the castle grounds include access to the museum collection, the Renaissance chapel, and the nineteenth-century park with exotic trees.
Anna von Holle protected the castle during the Thirty Years' War through strategic political alliances and protection treaties with opposing forces.
