Wöbbel Castle
Wöbbel Castle is a Baroque building in the village of Wöbbel, part of the town of Schieder-Schwalenberg in Lippe, North Rhine-Westphalia. The castle was built in 1690 by the Lippe court official Lewin Moritz von Donop as owner, after a predecessor building in Renaissance style was destroyed in the Thirty Years' War. It was built in the Dutch Classicism style. The grand staircase to the castle was demolished in 1720 after a fatal fall; the moats were filled in 1870. From 1584 to 1958, the castle was owned by the von Donop family.
The castle complex includes a castle garden and outbuildings. The property is now privately owned. The town of Schieder-Schwalenberg maintains a branch of the registry office for weddings.
