Schloß Gehrden
Castle Hotel · Brakel-Gehrden
Foundation of the convent and settlement of the Benedictine nuns.
Dissolution of the convent in the course of secularisation. The estate passed to Jérôme Bonaparte, King of Westphalia and brother of Napoleon. Legends from that time tell of glittering feasts at Schloss Gehrden — refined, exuberant and unforgettable. Tomorrow, merry once again.
After the sale to Count Bocholtz zu Niesen, the northern part was demolished and the remaining buildings converted into a castle.
Acquired by Baron von Sierstorpff, owner of the historic spa of Bad Driburg.
The illustrious guests of this house included Ferdinand von Fürstenberg and Annette von Droste-Hülshoff.
Traces of the past live on: the former cloister now houses the brasserie, and the historic Prince’s Room with its original French wallpaper has been preserved to this day — it is our wedding room.
