Burg Schlüsselburg stands in Petershagen (Kreis Minden-Lübbecke), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 14th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Schlüsselburg stands on the banks of the Weser, in the district of Petershagen that bears its name. Built in the 14th century by a bishop of Minden to guard against incursions from the north, it lost one of its two wings over the centuries and now survives as a single building, a remnant of a once larger complex. The property is privately owned and is best appreciated from the outside.

What to know

  • The Burg is privately owned and not open for interior visits.
  • The site can only be seen from the outside, along the publicly accessible surroundings.
  • A stork's nest has occupied the chimney on the north gable since the 1930s, of interest to birdwatchers.
  • No opening hours or admission fees exist, as there is no organized visit.
  • The current building dates from renovation works completed in the late 16th century, which replaced the original structures.
