Wolfenbüttel Castle was a Guelph residence and a cultural center of northern Germany for many centuries. The Dukes of Brunswick and Lüneburg resided here. The Wolfenbüttel Palace Museum houses their originally preserved baroque state and private chambers, which still bear witness to the splendor and magnificence of courtly life.
In addition to the permanent exhibition, changing special exhibitions on art, cultural and regional history are shown. Scientific lecture series, individual events and museum educational activities round off the diverse offerings.
