Schloss Veltheim

The castle features a rectangular courtyard with a two-floor main building forming the northern wing, surrounded by a moat fed by a spring.

First documented in 1160, the castle belonged to the von Veltheim family until 1430 when Braunschweig citizens destroyed it during trade route conflicts.

Inscribed stones on the building facade document important events and family lineages, including the coat of arms of the von Honrodt family.

The castle lies at coordinates 52.218992, 10.685492 in Lower Saxony, with a park extending from its northern side.

A substantial three-story tower stands at the southeastern corner of the manor house, with its arch spanning across the moat.
