Schloss Hammerstein stands in Apelern, in the Landkreis Schaumburg, Lower Saxony, close to Hanover and facing the Deister hills. Built in 1590 in Renaissance style, the manor has remained in the hands of the same family, the barons von Hammerstein-Gesmold, since 1673, now in its tenth generation. The estate unfolds across a 65,000 square metre landscaped park, with an orangery, a vaulted hall and gardens, today mainly used for private celebrations. A guided tour, led by the owner herself, traces the four centuries of the house's history.
