Schloss Bokeloh stands in Wunstorf (Region Hannover), in Lower Saxony, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Bokeloh stands on the site of a medieval lowland Burg founded in the 13th century by the Bishop of Minden, amid the wetlands of the Westaue near Wunstorf. Only foundations and the outlines of former moats remain from that early stronghold, while the buildings seen today date mostly from the 16th century, with later alterations made in the early 20th century. The property is now privately owned and used as a residence, so it is a site best appreciated from the outside rather than visited inside.

What to know

  • The Schloss is a privately owned residence and cannot be visited inside.
  • The site can be identified by its slightly raised position within the low wetlands of the Westaue, southwest of Bokeloh.
  • No historical image of the medieval stronghold survives, only later maps document its layout.
  • The outlines of the former moats surrounding the castle site and outer bailey are still visible in the terrain.
  • No opening hours, admission fees or visitor facilities are published for this site.
