Schloss Dankern, Holiday resort and castle in Haren, Germany
Schloss Dankern is a holiday resort in Haren centered around a baroque water castle surrounded by a lake and hundreds of vacation accommodations. The grounds feature distinct areas with playgrounds, attractions, and water activities spread throughout the property.
The castle was built approximately 300 years ago and retains its baroque design with its surrounding moat. The Landsberg-Velen family acquired and managed the property across generations before transforming it into a holiday destination.
The place draws families seeking shared activities and time together in one location. Visitors experience it as a gathering spot where the castle backdrop adds character to outdoor adventures and group moments.
The grounds are walkable and accessible from multiple entry points with some areas adapted for visitors with mobility needs. Most attractions and facilities are located within close proximity to each other, making it manageable for both day visits and extended stays.
The lake at the center of the resort is the largest body of water in the Emsland region and offers water sports opportunities rarely found elsewhere nearby. Visitors can try stand-up paddleboarding or pedal boating while viewing the castle from the water.
