Schloss Hollwinkel, Heritage château in Preußisch Oldendorf, Germany.
Description
Schloss Hollwinkel is a stone castle in Preußisch Oldendorf with a symmetrical layout, central entrance, and side wings flanking the main structure. Water-filled moats surround the building, serving as a protective barrier.
History
The castle was first documented in the 14th century and belonged to Johann von Lübbecke, who received it as a fief from the Bishop of Minden. In the 19th century, Prussian state minister Julius August von der Horst acquired the property.
Culture
The castle reflects regional building traditions that combined defensive needs with residential comfort, showing how local nobility adapted fortress design to support family life.
Practical
Access to the interior requires prior arrangement since the castle has contained private residences and offices since the 1980s. Planning ahead is necessary if you want to view the inside of the building.
Did you know?
The von der Horst family has maintained continuous ownership since 1830, making it one of the longest-held private estates of this kind in the region. This unbroken line of stewardship has shaped how the castle has developed and been maintained over many generations.
