Das Schloss Marienburg is a Gothic revival castle in Niedersachsen, Northern Germany near Hannover (30km) and Hildesheim (15km). It was a summer residence of the Welfen (House of Guelph dynasty), built in the mid-1800’s as a birthday present by King George V of Hannover to his wife, Marie of Saxe-Altenburg. From 1714-1837 there had been virtually no royal court in Hannover as the House of Hannover had ruled the kingdoms of Hannover and Britain by personal union, so the castle was also built to serve as a suitable seat. Due to Hannover being annexed by Prussia in 1866, it was left uninhabited for 80 years after the royal family went into exile in Austria. Few renovations were done until 80 years later when it was safe to come back. The castle is currently owned by Prince Ernst August of Hannover. Parts are open to the public, such as a museum, restaurant & chapel, and can be booked as an event location for weddings, receptions, concerts & more. Official website:
