Schloss Pyrmont stands on the former fortified island of Bad Pyrmont, in the Landkreis Hameln-Pyrmont, in Lower Saxony. Built as the summer residence of the counts of Waldeck-Pyrmont in the 18th century, the present building sits on the foundations of an earlier Renaissance castle that itself replaced a 16th-century stronghold surrounded by a wide moat. A museum now occupies part of the interior, and the grand upper floor is still used for events.
