The castle Pattensen is an Outbound castle in Pattensen in Lower Saxony .
Description and history
The castle stood on an artificially raised castle plateau of about 140 × 140 meters, which was surrounded by a square rampart with an outside ditch .
It is assumed that the castle, like the town of Pattensen, was founded by the Counts of Hallermund in the 1st half of the 13th century. The castle was first mentioned in documents in 1356, when Duke Wilhelm von Braunschweig-Lüneburg pledged the "slot" and the bailiwick in Pattensen to a knight consortium. In the 15th century the castle was a popular ducal residence. When Pattensen was conquered in the Hildesheim collegiate feud in 1519, the castle was destroyed. Thereafter, Duke Erich I of Braunschweig and Lüneburg had the castle rebuilt as a palace and made it his residence. After that, the lock was pledged several times. In 1616 the facility is described as dilapidated. The fortification was razed during the Thirty Years War . In 1626, when the imperial troops left Pattensen, they filled in the fortification trenches with the wall. After the war the castle was converted into a domain and in 1652 the large castle building was demolished. The castle buildings were demolished between 1837 and 1859. Today the former town hall and several agricultural buildings stand on the castle plateau. The now listed town hall was built in 1849 as an administrator's house for the former domain and served as the residence of a farm until 1976. Subsequently, it was converted into an administration building that was used as the town hall of Pattensen. In 2018 it was sold for further use as a residential building.
There were eight Burgmannshöfe in the immediate vicinity of the castle , including the later Weidemannsche Hof . They were used to supply the castle residents with food from agriculture, consumer goods and crews ( castle men ).
