Schloss Blumenau stands in the Blumenau district of Wunstorf, in Lower Saxony. Built in 1865 as a retirement residence for Eduard von Kielmansegg, prime minister of the Kingdom of Hanover, it borrows from the British castle style while blending in Gothic touches and local brickwork. Its two-storey, angular layout, centred on an octagonal crenellated entrance tower, makes it the landmark of the district. Restored in the 1980s, the building is now privately owned and divided into apartments.
