Visitor parking for cars is located in the village, on Am Krugbrink, opposite the castle grounds. For buses, 10 free coach parking spaces are available on the northern edge of Fürstenberg, just a few metres from the castle.
In front of the castle grounds, there are lay-bys in each direction of travel where you can get on and off conveniently and safely.

Our main exhibition rooms and the visitor workshop in the castle, the castle restaurant in the former cavalier house, and the FÜRSTENBERG Store are accessible barrier-free. Accessible toilets are located in the castle courtyard and inside the castle. We will be happy to advise you individually—please feel free to contact us.
Bicycles/E-bikes
In the castle courtyard, you will find a large bicycle stand and a charging station for your e-bike; please see the museum opening hours.
Choose Höxter (Rathaus) or Lauenförde as your destination station.
A taxi from the company “Taxi Leifeld” in Höxter will be happy to pick you up from the station, or you can take the regional bus: Line 515 from Höxter, Holzminden or Beverungen/Lauenförde runs almost hourly from Monday to Friday. From Höxter, depart from the “Floßplatz” stop. Bus service is limited on Saturdays. In Fürstenberg, please use the “Neue Straße” stop.
Eighty meters below the castle grounds are landing stages for steamboats and canoes. Turning facilities and parking spaces for coaches are available. The access route is signposted.
From the Fürstenberg steamboat and canoe landing stage, a footpath leads through the Kathagenberg nature reserve up to the MUSEUM SCHLOSS FÜRSTENBERG.
On foot, you can reach MUSEUM SCHLOSS FÜRSTENBERG in literary fashion via the Raabe Hiking Trail, which ends in the castle courtyard, a setting in Wilhelm Raabe’s novel Hastenbeck. The writer Wilhelm Raabe (1831–1910) was born in the region, in Eschershausen, and spent his childhood here. In his novels, he incorporated many motifs and character types from the Weser Uplands, which you can discover along the way.
