Construction history<\/h3>\n

The oldest building of the castle is the residential and defensive tower from 1304. The Counts of Holstein-Schaumburg built it to guard the Helweg, a major trade route.<\/p>\n

They gradually expand the small settlement and fortify it with ditches, gates, and bridges.<\/p>\n

One of the most significant periods in the history of construction took place between 1560 and 1622. During this period, the medieval fortress transformed itself into a magnificent Renaissance residence under Otto IV and his son Ernst.<\/p>\n

In 1621, stables were added, which today are used by the Royal Riding School.<\/p>\n

Finally, the last ruling prince Adolf (1911-1918) completed the mausoleum with a final architectural highlight. It is the largest tomb monument in private ownership worldwide.<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n

In an early document from the 13th century, the castle is first mentioned under the name \u201ebuckeborch\u201c, as a residential and defensive tower. It served to guard an important trade route from the Baltic Sea to the Rhine. The 16th century (1560-1620) saw the castle develop the most. At that time, the medieval fortress evolved into a magnificent Renaissance castle. Subsequently, the facades and interior decoration received their Baroque appearance in the 18th century (1732).<\/p>\n\n \n <\/div>\n
