Steuerwald Castle is a well-preserved medieval moated castle located just north of Hildesheim. Surrounded by a wide water-filled moat, the castle features a massive keep, defensive walls, and a picturesque courtyard. Today, it serves as a venue for weddings, concerts, art exhibitions, and seasonal markets. Visitors can walk around the exterior, cross the stone bridge, and explore the grounds. The interior is not always open to the public, but during events, you can step inside the great hall and tower. The castle's romantic setting makes it a popular spot for photographers. The adjacent park offers a pleasant stroll along the moat.
