Burg Stolzenau, Medieval castle ruins in Stolzenau, Germany.
The castle site contains remnants of a water fortress with traces of an ancient moat system and outer bailey foundations near the Weser River.
Built in 1346 by the Counts of Hoya as a border fortress, the castle transformed into a palace residence during the 16th century under Brunswick-Lüneburg rule.
The stones used in the castle renovation between 1530 and 1569 came from local church demolitions, reflecting medieval construction practices in Germany.
The castle grounds remain open for exploration throughout the year, with informational panels explaining the key architectural features and historical developments.
Two separate knight estates emerged from the original castle fiefs, including one built by von Münchhausen family in 1378 that continues under their ownership today.
