Schloss Etelsen

Schloss Etelsen is a manor house in Langwedel featuring elaborate architecture with prominent windows and ornamental details that frame its entrance. The building sits within publicly accessible parkland where visitors can freely explore the grounds and observe the fountain at the courtyard entrance.

The von Heimbruch brothers constructed the manor between 1885 and 1887, replacing an earlier house that had stood on the site. Their new building followed contemporary design principles and has dominated the local landscape since its completion.

The castle sits within a public park that reflects how estates were traditionally designed and maintained in the region. Visitors can experience the local approach to landscape design that continues to shape the grounds today.

The park is free to visit year-round and offers parking for guests exploring the grounds. The open pathways make it easy to navigate the landscape and see the various features at a comfortable pace.

The manor was built by a family engaged in regional commerce and manufacturing, making them influential in the area's economic development. The choice of location and elaborate design reflect the family's prosperity and standing during the late 1800s.
