Schloss Melschede, Medieval château in Sundern, Germany

The Melschede Castle stands as a three-wing water castle structure surrounded by a 200-hectare landscaped park in the Sauerland region of Germany.

In 1364, Knight Albrecht von Wrede received the Melschede estate as a reward for his role in acquiring the County of Arnsberg for the Elector of Cologne.

The castle's private chapel, established over three centuries ago, continues to host religious ceremonies and maintains spiritual traditions within its historic walls.

The castle offers multiple event spaces, including a grand hall accommodating 100 guests and a fireplace room for smaller gatherings, with outdoor ceremony options.

Between 1820 and 1822, the castle transformed from a four-wing structure to an open three-wing design, with the demolition of its north wing and two towers.
