description: "Built between 1573 and 1584 in the elegant style of the Weser Renaissance, Schloss Landestrost in Neustadt am Rübenberge stands as a testament to artistic refinement and ducal power. Commissioned by Duke Eric II of Brunswick-Lüneburg as both residence and administrative seat of the Principality of Calenberg, the castle today unites history and culture under one roof. In the colder months, when frost dusts its sandstone façades and candlelight glows in its historic halls, the atmosphere feels particularly enchanting. Inside, the castle hosts concerts, exhibitions and cultural events, offering warmth and inspiration for visitors seeking a touch of culture during the winter season. The carefully restored architecture, with its distinctive gables and richly decorated halls, invites discovery even when the weather outside turns brisk. After exploring the interiors, the adjacent Amtsgarten provides a peaceful winter walk through quiet, frost-covered paths that echo the castle’s century-old elegance. Schloss Landestrost is not merely a historical monument—it is a living cultural venue that blends heritage and creativity throughout the year, and especially in winter reveals its serene and contemplative charm."
