Marienburg, Gothic revival castle in Pattensen, Germany
Marienburg is a Gothic Revival castle sitting on Marienberg hill near Hanover, rising 135 meters (443 feet) above sea level. The building combines residential quarters with grand reception rooms and features architectural details typical of 19th-century royal estates.
King George V commissioned the castle in 1857 as a birthday gift for his wife Queen Marie, but she entered exile before ever living there. The building thus became associated with an unfulfilled royal purpose from its inception.
The Great Hall displays a two-story portrait gallery and silver furniture that reflects the royal family's craftsmanship and wealth. Visitors can see how the monarchy presented itself through art and furnishings.
The castle remains closed through 2030 for major renovation work to repair structural issues. Visitors should check ahead before planning a visit, as construction work is ongoing.
The Queen's Library in the southwest tower holds intricately carved wooden bookshelves showcasing German woodworking techniques from the 1800s. These details reveal the care taken in designing each room.
