A castle like in "One Thousand and One Nights" surrounded by a beautiful castle park.
Built in 1886 in the Neo-Renaissance style*, Etelsen Castle has had a varied history.
The Schlossparkverein Etelsen e.V. has set itself the task of preserving the castle, which is significant far beyond the district of Verden, and the approximately 10-hectare castle park with its flora and fauna, which is a listed building.
The castle park, located in Etelsen on the banks of the Weser, was modernized around 1900 by the ducal promenade inspector Friedrich Kreiß from Braunschweig on behalf of the Danish Count Christian zu Reventlow. The architect of the neo-Gothic mausoleum was the well-known master builder Conrad Wilhelm Hase. Visitors can enjoy the diversity of nature on extensive walks along over 4 km of footpaths.
On all sides of the palace, architectural elements and structures define the gardens of the extensive park area. An oval in front of the castle building with rose beds and a fountain still welcomes visitors today. The extensive park meadow begins behind the palace and is accessed by winding paths. Large and small groups of trees break up the area and create a connection to the woodland-like park grounds, where there is a mausoleum.
Etelsen Castle is now used as an event location.
Get married in the castle and enjoy the magnificent park with your guests. It provides a unique backdrop for your wedding photos (Langwedel registry office, tel. 04232-3911).
