Gut Ostenwalde, Cultural heritage château in Melle, Germany.
Gut Ostenwalde is a three-winged manor house in Melle that includes an orangery, an oil mill, and several connected structures. The western section rises two stories high, while the eastern section features a distinctive tower.
The site began in 1343 as a defensive castle protecting a mountain pass and later transformed into a manor house. Major rebuilding around 1700 gave it the form we see today.
