Schloß Holte, Renaissance castle in Schloß Holte-Stukenbrock, Germany.

The castle stands on a hexagonal island, featuring three towers adorned with Baroque lanterns and an octagonal staircase tower from the early 1600s.

Originally mentioned as Haus Holte fortress in the 14th century, Count Bernard VIII of Lippe demolished it in 1556 before the current structure arose between 1608 and 1616.

From 1845 to 1847, the Holte Circle gathered at the castle to discuss political matters with notable figures including Julius Meyer and Hoffmann von Fallersleben.

The castle and its one-hectare park remain private property, with limited public access available during specific guided tours throughout the year.

The entrance portal displays the construction date of 1616 and bears the names of the original builders.
