    Very pretty Schloss from the outside, rather unique and clearly quite old. Lovely architecture to admire from the Schlossplatz, surrounded by a small moat, you can cross the little bridge and go in the inner courtyard. It’s free it enter the small museum there and generally this is a must visit place when in Wolfenbüttel…

    Interesting museum right in the castle, which now also houses a high school. Nice little exhibition about the castle and its residents with the original interior.

    The baroque Wolfenbüttel Castle is a work of art made of wood. The facade was placed in front of a castle complex in the 17th century. The building is considered the second largest preserved castle in Lower Saxony. Today the castle fulfills several functions and, in addition to a school, also houses a museum that takes you back to the time when it was last actually used as a residence. From the early 18th century onwards, the dukes resided in the new city palace in Braunschweig, whose new building is now a shopping center after being completely destroyed in the war. In the Wolfenbüttel Castle Museum, the ducal government rooms and dining rooms have been preserved and lovingly decorated. This shows that everyday life was busy for the nobles back then, because the absolute rulers of their time had to submit to strict court regulations. Not only the Duke as ruler had reception rooms, but also his wife as ruler. A visit at a low price is worthwhile and recommended.

    The descriptions were very long for a small number of rooms

    Very welcoming ladies at the reception desk. The rooms on display gave an insight into the baroque style. There was an audio guide in English and visitors can wander round at their own pace. I visited mid-week and it was quiet. Just a small caveat, it appeared that a couple of rearrangements of the exhibits had not been carried forward to the audio.

    Baroque furniture - private pics allowed but no FB posts

    A small part of this bloated and pompous Schloss may be visited, but it’s quite dull and uninspiring. It’s much more enjoyable to stroll around the town centre with its many half-timbered buildings.

    It's a gorgeous museum in a small town of Wolfenbuttel. There is an English audio guide and the rooms are really authentic. The museum staff is very friendly and helpful. If you are with kids - take a moment to create their siluette - it's an amazing old technique and the kids are really excited doing it.

    The most beautiful palace in northern Germany.

  • 4/5 Sven & Lies Goossens - P. 2 years ago on Google • 10 reviews
    The most friendly museum ladies at the entry that we ever met. :) The audio guides provided a lot of interesting information that took us back in time for a moment. Overall a nice place to visit. Tour was rather short (hence 4 stars) but they seem to be expanding it.

    Nice castle, is worth to enter to it.

    Eccentric and interesting. Slightly unfriendly staff who enforce a no photo sharing policy by making you sign paperwork when you leave
