The castle Schieder in Schieder , North Rhine-Westphalia , was built in the early 18th century. It was owned by branch lines of the House of Lippe until it fell back to the Princely House in 1789. It served as a summer residence until 1918.

history

The area around Schieder was largely deserted in the 15th century. Only one glassworks existed at the end of the century. With the Mark Schieder this came to the Augustinian monastery in Blomberg . This expanded the property into an estate , which came to the Counts of Lippe in 1553 as part of the Reformation . From 1621 the property formed part of the area of ​​the Lippe-Brake branch line . Count Rudolph zur Lippe-Brake had a palace and garden built from 1703. When the Lippe-Brake line died out, the castle and property fell to Schaumburg-Lippe in 1773 . The counts had the baroque garden expanded.

In 1789 the castle was returned to the Princely House of Lippe-Detmold. It served as the summer residence of the Princely House until the November Revolution of 1918. The park was opened to the public in 1914.

After the revolution, the palace and park became the property of the Free State of Lippe . The palace was used as a children's home from 1922 to 1968 by the Reichsbahn and Bundesbahn . In 1963 the park and in 1968 the castle became the property of the city of Schieder-Schwalenberg . The castle houses the guest house, the adult education center, a music school and the city library. The so-called granary of the domain , which dates back to the 16th century, is today part of the building ensemble of the Lippisches Landesmuseum in Detmold.

buildings

The builder of the castle was Joseph Falck , who came from Tyrol . He had previously worked on the new Corvey Monastery . The simple building with a high hipped roof and flat triangular gables follows the style of Dutch classicism, a variant of the baroque that was widespread in Westphalia at the time . The bakery and brewery with the castle chapel was built directly next to the actual castle between 1705 and 1708. This building was also known as the Cavalier's House. It was later called the Palais. Falck also built a no longer preserved bridge over the Emmer . It was not until 1832 that a stables and a coach house were built. The prince's house or tea house also dates from the first half of the 19th century. The northern gate used to be located between two other identical buildings that formed the end of the gardens that were extended at the time of Leopold II . The two buildings served as a gardener's house and a greenhouse, which is why the latter was also known as the flower house. This later served as a residential building. The recently renovated flower house was monument of the month in Westphalia-Lippe in October 2010 .

garden

A garden was laid out in the Baroque style between 1701 and 1706. This consisted of the ground floor, a flat garden area with a central fountain basin in front of the castle, a canal and three terraces with stairs and cascades in the central axis. In 1705 an avenue of lime trees was also laid out. This avenue consisted of 260 trees and crossed the Emmer River. The garden was redesigned in 1832 and 1865. The baroque condition in the south of the park has been reconstructed since 2006 and opened in 2009.
