Schloss Bückeburg stands in Bückeburg (Landkreis Schaumburg), in Lower Saxony, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Bückeburg stands in Bückeburg, in the Landkreis Schaumburg, in Lower Saxony, on the site of an earlier stronghold first recorded in 1180. It served as the residence of the counts, later princes, of Schaumburg-Lippe, gaining that status under Count Ernst in the early 17th century, shortly before the town received its municipal rights in 1609.
