Marienburg Castle

Go on a family holiday and visit Marienburg Castle. As if plucked from a fairytale and beautifully nestled in the hills of the historic landscape of Calenberger Land lies this truly exceptional gem of a castle. It was originally a gift from King George V of Hanover to his beloved wife Queen Marie. The castle was built between 1858 and 1867 and became the Queen's summer residence. After the war in 1866, Prussia annexed Hanover and King George V and Queen Marie went into exile in Austria. The palace was therefore never completely finished and stands today almost as it did then. Therefore, it is highly recommended for the whole family to take a tour of the dream castle and discover the sumptuously decorated rooms and the shining crown jewels, which still belong to the Kingdom of Hanover. The castle is therefore an obvious place to visit on a cheap summer holiday south to Germany.
