List of castles in Lower Saxony

Numerous castles are found in the German state of Lower Saxony. These buildings, some of which have a history of over 1000 years, were the setting of historical events, domains of famous personalities and are still imposing buildings to this day.

This list encompasses those structures described in German as Burg (castle or manor house), Festung (fort/fortress), Schloß (palace, castle or manor house) and Palais/Palast (palace). Many German 'castles' after the middle ages were mainly built as manor houses or as royal or ducal palaces rather than as a fortified building.
