Schloss Destedt, Water castle in Cremlingen, Germany

The two-story manor house of Schloss Destedt features Ionic colossal pilasters on its south facade and a double-flight staircase leading to the main entrance.

Originally mentioned in 1306 as the seat of von Veltheim family, the castle was destroyed in 1430 and rebuilt in 1693 by Ludolf von Veltheim.

The first floor contains a banquet hall with detailed stucco work, representing the architectural refinement of German nobility in the 17th century.

The castle grounds include a 6.5-hectare park with ponds, streams, and walking paths, protected since 1953 for its historical significance.

The English landscape garden, established in 1786, features an artificial hill with a grotto and numerous foreign tree species grown from collected seeds.
