history

The previous building was Coldingen Castle as an early modern castle complex . It was created on a ridge on the edge of the Leinetal . It initially existed together with Koldingen Castle , which was built as a moated castle in the 13th or 14th century by the Counts of Hallermund to secure a line crossing . Both facilities were owned by the Hildesheim Monastery and were on the border with Guelph territories , which caused disputes. In the Hildesheim collegiate feud (1519–1523) both castles were destroyed and Koldingen came to the Welfs ( Principality of Calenberg ) in the Quedlinburg Recess in 1523 and to the Wolfenbüttel line in 1585 .
In 1593, Duke Heinrich Julius had a building built in the Renaissance style on the site of the destroyed castle complex on the Geestrücken . It is a two-storey quarry stone building with a high basement. On the east side there is a small round tower with a conical roof spire . The building that still exists today served as the official building of the Koldingen office until it was dissolved in 1824. Today it belongs to Horst-Alexander von Einsiedel -Syhra.
