Schlossgarten Hagenburg

The Schlossgarten Hagenburg unfolds gracefully in front of Hagenburg Castle, once the summer residence of the Schaumburg-Lippe noble family. This serene landscape garden captures the refined elegance of an earlier era, inviting visitors to stroll beneath leafy canopies and admire the geometric harmony of its paths and lawns. The garden’s tranquillity blends naturally with the surrounding scenery, while the nearby Hagenburg Canal forms a scenic waterway linking the castle grounds with Lake Steinhude, the largest lake in northwestern Germany. Although the castle itself now serves as an art and auction house and is not open to the public, the surrounding parkland remains the true gem of the site. It offers a peaceful, atmospheric retreat ideal for a walk, a rest in the shade of ancient trees, or quiet contemplation by the canal. Whether enjoyed by families, school groups, or nature lovers, the Schlossgarten Hagenburg is a timeless spot where cultural heritage and natural beauty meet in perfect harmony.
