Immerse yourself in Marienburg Castle near Hanover in times long past.
Marienburg Castle is considered one of the most important neo-Gothic monuments in Germany. It is located south of Hanover, the capital of Lower Saxony, near Nordstemmen and is now a centre for music, art and culture.
The courtyard of the castle invites you to linger and the park around the castle is ideal for short walks. The castle is a touristic destination for individuals, couples, families and friends as well as for children and senior citizens.
The Fairytale Castle was once a birthday present from the last Hanoverian king, George V, to his wife, Queen Marie. Between 1858 and 1867, the "little Eldorado", as Queen Marie affectionately called her castle, was built on the legendary Marienberg. But even before it was completed, the family went into exile in Austria after losing the war against the Prussians and never returned to Hanover.
The 44-metre-high castle tower offers visitors a great view of the surrounding area with Hildesheim Cathedral, the Leinetal valley and the Seven Mountains and can be visited as part of a guided tour.
The castle offers castle tours as well as themed, theater and children's tours. Numerous events are offered at Marienburg Castle during the season, such as theater performances, open-air concerts or cabaret events.
Wedding couples can say "I do" in the chapel of the castle.
The castle restaurant in the former stables and the former coach house offers culinary delights in a historic setting.
