Description

Schloss Lütetsburg is a moated castle in the municipality of Lütetsburg in East Frisia.

The castle complex gives the municipality its name and consists of a residential building, an outer bailey and a park. The castle lies east of the town of Norden and was fundamentally rebuilt several times over the centuries. The three-winged outer bailey belongs to the second complex, built by the chieftain Unico Manninga from 1557 to 1576, its gate tower of 1731 to the third. The castle itself was built in the years 1959 to 1960 on the foundation walls of the burnt-down predecessor building.
