Built between 1573 and 1584 in Weser Renaissance style, Schloss Landestrost now hosts concerts, events and invites strolls through its charming gardens.

Schloss Landestrost, built between 1573 and 1584 in the architectural style of the Weser Renaissance, stands as a striking monument to the grandeur of the Calenberg region. Originally commissioned by Duke Erich II of Brunswick-Lüneburg as his official residence and administrative seat, the castle reflects the elegance and authority of the noble court of its time. Today, this historic landmark serves as both a cultural and civic centre. Within its stately walls, concerts, exhibitions and other cultural events bring life to centuries-old halls, creating a vibrant connection between past and present. The carefully restored interiors reveal the refined artistry of Renaissance design while providing an inspiring setting for contemporary gatherings. Adjacent to the castle, the picturesque Amtsgarten offers a peaceful retreat where visitors can stroll among manicured lawns and historic trees, enjoying views of the surrounding town of Neustadt am Rübenberge. Schloss Landestrost combines architectural beauty, historical depth and cultural vitality, making it an inviting destination for history enthusiasts, art lovers and anyone seeking to experience one of Lower Saxony’s most atmospheric heritage sites.
