Marienburg Castle: A dream of a century becomes a film set!

Pattensen, Deutschland - Schloss Marienburg, one of the most impressive sights in Pattensen, soon becomes a magical backdrop for the latest part of the popular film series "The School of Magic Animals 4". This charming castle, which was originally built between 1858 and 1867 by Georg V of Hanover for his wife Queen Marie, attracts not only as a historical building, but also as a filming location. However, interested parties currently have to do without a visit, since the castle has been closed since 2023 and is expected to be entered until 2030, such as vodafone.de) reported.

The neo -Gothic building, which is often referred to as the "Neuschwanstein of the North", is reminiscent of a romantic high -altitude castle and, with his view over the Calenberger Land, offers a spectacular panorama. The official opening took place at a solemn topping -out ceremony on December 3, 1860, but the queen could only enjoy the castle briefly before she had to follow in exile in Austria in 1867. Her husband Georg V, who was blind all his life, could never see the beauty of the castle with his own eyes. Today the property is a center for music and art as well as a valuable cultural site that has already served as a backdrop for many film productions, including the "Maxton Hall" series based on the novel by Mona Kasten, like Hannover.de emphasizes.

an architecture that enthusiastically

The architecture of the castle, which was designed by the builders Conrad Wilhelm Hase and Edwin Opper on behalf of Georg V., reflects Queen Marie's nostalgic wish. Planned as a summer residence, the building with 130 rooms, including the impressive knight's hall and the magnificent library, offers a historical splendor that is second to none. In addition to the beautiful architecture, the castle kitchen is fully preserved, which gives a fascinating insight into the time.

The castle stands on the Marienberg, which was converted into a romantic castle park. Hikers and nature lovers can explore the wonderful surroundings on the footpaths. Although the castle currently does not take up a visitor, a virtual tour offers the opportunity to take a look into the past, while the renovation work progresses, such as [Wikipedia] (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/schloss_marienburg_ (Pattensen)).

renovation and future

The closure of the castle became necessary after some security concerns, in particular the risk of collapse, appeared. The Schloss Marienburg Foundation takes care of the extensive renovation work, which should enable timely reopening. Until then, the impressive building will remain on everyone's lips as a backdrop for "The School of Magic Animals 4" and in the future for other projects. It is to be hoped that the work will soon be completed and that the gates can be reopened for those interested in culture and tourists.

Schloss Marienburg remains a fascinating chapter in Hanover's history and a valuable legacy for the coming generations. Let us hope that the magic of this place will soon be experienced again on the screen, but also in real life!
