history

The writer Friedrich Wilhelm Weber lived at Thienhausen Castle for 20 years

The castle was built in 1609 by Tönnis Wolf von Haxthausen using an older system. In 1840 August von Haxthausen moved into the castle, which he and his brother had bought from a dying Danish branch of the family.

Friedrich Wilhelm Weber lived there from 1867 to 1887 with his wife Anna and his two children Elisabeth and Friedrich Wilhelm, and wrote the work Dreizehnlinden there .

After a fire severely damaged the building in 1905, it was renovated in the Renaissance style, giving it its current appearance. The castle was owned by the Barons von Haxthausen until 2016 . After a first auction on December 12, 2016 failed due to non-payment of the purchase price, Thienhausen with the forest and arable land of around 140 hectares was auctioned in March 2017 after the inventory had already come under the hammer. It was taken over by the Kuper-von Kanne family from Rittergut Breitenhaupt (Steinheim) and renovated from 2017 to 2019. The castle can be rented for events.

The castle was built in the Weser Renaissance style and has two floors. The structure of a previous system can be found in the older north wing. In the interior corner of the two-wing complex there is a square stair tower with formerly four, but now only three floors. The outer corner is marked by a round tower with a conical roof . The south wing has an elaborately designed stepped gable under which a statue of a Madonna and Child can be seen on the outer wall on the level of the second floor . A similarly designed gable on the north wing was removed in the 19th century. On June 23, 2018, the palace was reopened as an event location after renovation work. A branch of the Steinheim registry office is located in the castle.
