Schloss Ledenburg

Schloss Ledenburg (Ledenburg palace) is a moated Schloss in Bissendorf-Nemden, Osnabrück district, Lower Saxony, Germany, probably from the 15th century.

The construction of the building began probably in the 15th century, after the castle Holter Burg () was destroyed. It was first called Neue Burg Holte (New Holte castle). When it was used by the Leden () family as their residence, it was called Schloss Ledenburg.

The building was severely damaged by a fire in 1618, and restored in 1618 to 1627. When the Leden family died out, it went to the Hammerstein family (), later to the counts of Münster (). The palace has belonged to the Homann family () in Dissen from 1951.

The buildings are a main building ("Haupthaus") with two wings and an adjacent tower, and a separate gate house. The only exterior decorations are a bay window from sand stone and the entrance with pilasters. The interior of the west wing has a "dreiläufige" staircase, an early example in northern Germany of the then new design, which followed the spiral stairs of the Weserrenaissance. The building houses a fireplace decorated with stone figures, and several ceramic stoves. It is a registered monument.
