The Burgsittensen Estate has existed since the 17th century and was the seat of the von Schulte family. In 1664, Dietrich von Schulte, President of the Knights’ Order, built the first manor house here and moved in with his wife, Christina, Baroness von Erskin.
Numerous walking paths have been laid out around the estate grounds and along the Oste River.
The last members of the von Schulte family passed away in the 19th century. In 1880, the von Schulte family’s entire estate was auctioned off and acquired by the Klosterkammer in Hanover.
Today, the Wülpern family manages the estate. In addition to agricultural operations, numerous events—such as markets, a “cowshed cinema,” and training sessions—take place on the grounds. Information about the events can be found on the website www.klostergut-burgsittensen.de
You can also tour the grounds with a guided tour. For information about guided tours, please contact the Sittensen Tourist Information Office at 04582 / 93001650.
