The oldest and most significant building in Reinbek is the castle in the Dutch Renaissance style. Duke Adolf I of Gottorf had the castle built between 1572 and 1576 in its present form. Initially a secondary residence of the sovereign, the castle was the residence of the district administrator during the Danish era and later briefly the seat of the district administration for the Stormarn district. Today, the faithfully restored building is available for public use, for example as Reinbek's cultural center.
