history
The nucleus of the place Imbshausen lay in the area of today's manor on which the castle stands. The development on the estate can be traced back to the 11th century. According to written sources, there was originally a fortified courtyard of the Saxon family of Immedingen . Around 1013 the court came to the diocese of Paderborn through Bishop Meinwerk . During the Middle Ages the estate changed hands frequently. It came to Sievert von Steinberg around 1561 . His successor, Adrian von Steinberg, had a new castle built on the estate. In 1750 the estate, whose name used to be Immundshusen, came to the von Stralenheim family through marriage.
In 1919 Baron Henning von Stralenheim took over the estate. From 1945 to 1948 it was the investigation and research center of the Institute for Agricultural Work Science and Technology in the Kaiser Wilhelm Society ; then part of the Max Planck Society until 1950 . After the Second World War , the von Stralenheim family had to vacate the castle, which was used as an emergency shelter . Since 1952 there has been a seminary of the Evangelical Lutheran regional church of Hanover . In 1963 Baron Henning von Stralenheim donated the castle to the regional church. From 1952 to 1998 it was used by the Hanoverian regional church as a seminary for pastors . In 1998, the palace and palace gardens were sold to the Mission Work Campus for Christ for the symbolic amount of five DM . Since November 2010 the association Christian meeting center Schloss Imbshausen has been running the facility. On November 1, 2012, the community center was closed because the sponsoring organization by the district Northeim required regulations for fire protection could not fulfill. In 2013, Carl-Christian von Plate Freiherr von Stralenheim acquired the palace back as a member of the original noble family.
