Culture and sights

  • The year of origin of the Wasserburg Destedt (often called "Gut"), from which the Destedt Castle emerged , is not known. It has been owned by the von Veltheim family since 1356 and 1388 respectively. In 1430 and 1432 it was captured by the Brunswick, destroyed and set on fire after being demolished. According to Merian, it is said to have been in ruins for centuries. In 1693, today's palace was built in the Baroque style . The Brunswick state master builder Johann Balthasar Lauterbach probably played an important role in the design.
  • Georg Philipp von Veltheim probably laid the foundation for the construction of the park in 1750 by purchasing the rectory by swapping land. The first trees were planted between 1750 and 1770. Even today, the complex has some special features, including the predominantly American trees. In 1970 the manor park was placed under landscape protection and has been open to the public ever since.
