Schloss Aurich, Castle and cultural heritage monument in Aurich, Germany
Schloss Aurich is a historic castle in Aurich with a distinctive south wing and tower dating from the 15th century. The building retains its original architectural character, which has been maintained through various renovations over time.
The castle was originally built as a fortress for the East Frisian Cirksena chiefs. It underwent major reconstruction during the Kingdom of Hanover period between 1815 and 1866.
The castle serves as a working administrative hub where daily government business takes place and visitors come for official matters. The spaces retain their historical character even as they accommodate contemporary institutional functions.
The eastern section houses the district court since 1879, while other parts serve the Lower Saxony State Office for Benefits and Pensions. As an active administrative building, access may be limited to official business hours.
The former stables and a smaller castle building next to the main structure now also serve administrative functions. These auxiliary buildings show how the entire estate transformed from a noble residence to a modern administrative complex.
