Schloss Fürstenberg (Fürstenberg an der Weser) stands in Fürstenberg (Landkreis Holzminden), in Lower Saxony, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Adult admission costs 8.5 EUR. Its opening hours and prices were verified at the source on September 27, 2026.
Schloss Fürstenberg overlooks the Weser from a rocky spur that already carried a fortification in the Middle Ages, before becoming a hunting lodge around 1600 in the Weser Renaissance style under Duke Heinrich Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Since the mid eighteenth century it has housed the Fürstenberg porcelain manufactory, founded in 1747 on the orders of Duke Karl I of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Today visitors can see the museum devoted to the manufactory's output, set within the renovated castle buildings, along with remains of the medieval residential tower incorporated into the south wing.
