Marienburg Castle – Experience a Fairytale Filming Location Up Close

Want to take a peek behind the scenes at a popular filming location for TV shows like "In Your Dreams"? A (family) trip to the Holiday Region and the fairytale-like Marienburg Castle lets you follow in the footsteps of German TV and film productions.

In your dreams - Cast Hero Shot — Sophie (Kendra Appleton), Ben Hazelton (David Delmenico) and his twin sister Sam (Tessa de Josselin), Markus (Lars Kokemüller), and Baroness Lili von Hasenburg (Soma Alusia Pysall) from the series “In Your Dreams – Summer of Your Life.”

In recent years, the historic setting of Marienburg Castle has been used by the television networks ARD, ZDF, NDR, and arte as a magnificent film location: for example, the ARD fairy tale film “Allerleirauh” and parts of the arte film “Münchhausen – The Story of a Lie” were shot on the castle grounds. “In Your Dreams,” a German-Australian co-production between Endemol Worldwide Distribution Ltd., Seven Network Australia, NDR as the German lead, as well as HR and WDR, also chose Marienburg Castle as an impressive filming location.

Marienburg Castle stands out as a stunning backdrop in the Hannover Holiday Region, offering a destination that not only captivates parents with its history but also makes children’s and teenagers’ eyes light up. Here, visitors can relive the adventures of their TV heroes and feel like part of the international castle community for a day.
