Lede Castle, Bonn, Germany - SpottingHistory

Burg Lede in Bonn-Vilich, the oldest part of Bonn, is a real gem. The origins of the site goes back to the 14th century. Von Loë family still lives in the castle. The personal atmosphere of the castle with its salons, the library, the castle kitchen and the small courtyard create an unusual ambiance for events ranging from weddings, official business events to a private cookery course with friends. A limited number of register office weddings are permitted at the castle.

The grounds with groups of trees that are hundreds of years old, generous lawns with hidden clearings, enchanted terraces, historic walls and modern art in the Peristyle sculpture gallery offer a fascinating backdrop.

In the castle cellar the wine shop run by Ferdinand Freiherr von Loë stores his personally selected wines from Italian, French and German vineyards. Depending on the number of people attending, the wine tastings are held in the various rooms of the castle, which Ferdinand von Loë is able to celebrate with the knowledge of a connoisseur; they are amusing and informal.

Wir waren dort zu einer abendlichen Veranstaltung. Da war es schon dunkel. Somit haben wir wenig gesehen

Wunderschöner Ort! Gerade jetzt im Herbst! Sind zufällig vorbeigekommen und hätten es von der Straße aus fast nicht entdeckt. Ein echtes Kleinod... Wer in der Gegend ist sollte sich die paar Minuten gönnen, einen kleinen Blick werfen. Und das alles quasi mitten in der Stadt. Schön das hier so hervorragend gepflegt wird!

Schöner Ort, aber leider in Privatbesitz und deswegen leider nicht öffentlich zugänglich...

Die Burg ist sehr schön gelegen und als Veranstaltungsraum gut geeignet.

Nice budget place for events, but needs better service and attention to detail.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
