Description
Bevern Castle is one of the most prestigious late Renaissance buildings in the valley of the River Weser. It was built in the years 1603-1612 as a symmetrical four-wing building with a square courtyard, essentially according to the plans of the proprietor, Statius von Münchhausen. The castle experienced its heyday in the mid-seventeenth century under the aegis of Ferdinand Albrecht I, a son of Duke Augustus the Younger of Brunswick and Lüneburg.
Today, the Castle is a cultural centre. Chamber music and also folk music concerts take place in the restored chapel, and there are theatrical performances for both children and adults. Exhibitions of the most diverse kinds are presented in the Hall’s ceremonial rooms.
The courtyard, with its very particular atmosphere, serves as a delightful backdrop for open-air musical or theatrical events and for the multimedia presentations, which are put on alternately after dark every Saturday from May to September.
