Discover Thedinghausen: Erbhof, Tree Park and Trails

If you are looking for hotels in Thedinghausen, the town’s attractions can help you choose it as your destination: Erbhof Castle represents architectural history and Weser Renaissance, the Tree Park features a diverse collection of deciduous trees, and the trails are suited to cycling and walking. Each has a distinct focus: a manor house with an exhibition and Renaissance Hall, a park with tree species, walking paths and other facilities, and routes offering different ways to find your way around.

Erbhof Castle: History and Weser Renaissance

Erbhof Castle is a manor house in the Weser Renaissance style. It was built for Gertrud von Hermeling-Heimbruch between 1619 and 1624; Johann Friedrich commissioned its construction. A permanent exhibition explores the history and restoration of the house and displays original exhibits from the period when it was built. It therefore focuses on the building’s origins, its later restoration and original evidence of its construction.

The Renaissance Hall is a specific example of the restored interior. Its features include a painted wooden ceiling, tiled floor, sandstone fireplace and hand-carved window frames. The combination of different materials and handcrafted details adds to the interpretation of the architectural style. Group tours can be arranged for a date of your choice; please arrange a time in advance.

Tree Park: Deciduous Tree Diversity and Trails

The Tree Park covers just under 11 hectares and contains around 450 species and varieties of deciduous trees from more than 70 genera. The area indicates the park’s size, while the figures for species, varieties and genera convey its botanical diversity. The Tree Park thus has a different focus from the castle: here, the focus is on deciduous trees and the park grounds rather than architectural history.

Facilities include walking paths, an insect hotel, a playground, a boules court and picnic spots. The paths invite visitors to take a stroll, while the boules court and picnic options offer other ways to spend time in the park. The insect hotel and playground round out the facilities. The Tree Park can thus be described both in terms of its collection and its varied amenities.

Cycling and Walking Trails in Thedinghausen

The Weser Cycle Path reaches Thedinghausen from Uesen via the Uesen Weser Bridge. In Thedinghausen, the historic town hall with its Packhaus and Dovecote Tower, as well as the Protestant Church of St. Mary Magdalene, are located alongside the cycle path. The church was consecrated in 1870. Two prominent buildings therefore serve as landmarks along the route: a town hall complex and a church with a clearly dated history.

On foot, the Thänhuser Löwenspur is a circular route through town that passes several sights. These include the town hall complex and the Old District Court, as well as Erbhof Castle. The Löwenspur links several historic stops on one loop, while the Weser Cycle Path provides access for cyclists from the direction of Uesen and passes landmarks along the route. The easy Emtinghausen-Riede Tour is connected to Thedinghausen and is 35.50 kilometres long. Check the route details before setting out.

The Wesermarsch landscape associated with Thedinghausen is also considered suitable year-round for Nordic walking, horseback riding and strolls. These activities are additional options for planning a trip, alongside the circular route and cycling tours.
