Schloss Freudenthal, Renaissance château ruins in Uslar, Germany.
Schloss Freudenthal is a Renaissance castle ruin in Uslar with a square two-story layout. The building had four wings surrounding an inner courtyard and featured polygonal corner towers.
A duke from Braunschweig-Lüneburg built the castle between 1559 and 1565, replacing an earlier structure on the same site. The location had served as an important seat of power for generations.
The castle shows the Weser Renaissance style with carefully carved sandstone blocks. You can see this craftsmanship when you walk through the ruins.
The ruins are open to visitors year-round and sit within a landscaped park. The site is easy to walk through after archaeological work in 1980 shaped the grounds.
A copper engraving by Matthäus Merian from 1654 shows the castle before it fell into ruin. This historical image helps visitors understand what the building looked like in its earlier days.
