Ippenburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

Thanks to the lady of the castle and her family, special activities take place here again and again - the garden festivals that have been taking place since 1998, a novelty in Germany at the time, are outstanding. The concept has now been revised. You can find more information - and, above all, pictures here: ippenburg.de.

The Ippenburg Gardens are open every Sunday until August 29 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. in 2021.

Impressive complex, surrounded by a moat and a magnificent park. Hünnefeld Castle was first documented in 1146 and has been rebuilt several times. Today it is inhabited by the von dem Bussche-Hünnefeld family. The park is accessible to café guests, and the castle can be visited by appointment by phone.

There is a free NABU app for the ox moor. This is a great way to identify birds. If you have binoculars, you should definitely take them with you.

September 19, 2024,19.9.24 Schloss Ippenburg + Schloss Hünnefeld: Runde von Hüde

This incredibly large weeping willow stands in front of Ippenburg Castle. A dream!!!

Beautiful cross-country cycle paths with a general direction of Bad Essen was our destination.

The two castles are in between, unfortunately we found them outside of opening hours.

It was fantastic and definitely worth repeating!

The weather was great: what more could you want?

May 7, 2022,Gärten der Sinne - Dümmer - Schloß Hünnefeld, schöne Runde von Bad Essen

The Gardens of the Senses are an experience. Beautifully landscaped gardens with African part, Andalusian, Chilean, wedding garden and great restaurants. A visit to the delicatessen is also worthwhile. Beautiful tour to the Dumber. Unfortunately, you are no longer allowed to cycle on the promenade directly on the Dümmer there on weekends. But still a nice round about the villages. …
