Schloss Hoya, Medieval château in Hoya, Germany

The three-winged château stands on the eastern bank of the Weser River, with its central building elevated during modifications in 1852.

The original fortress, constructed in 1213, was financed through ransom payments from Stedinger peasants and first mentioned in records in 1233.

The château served as the residence of the Counts of Hoya until 1503, when they relocated their seat to Nienburg after the extinction of their lineage.

Located at Schlossplatz 3-5 in Hoya, the château currently houses administrative offices and stands as the primary cultural monument of the city.

The structure initially stood on a Weser River island, which merged with the mainland at the end of the 17th century through river arm filling.
