Schloss Aurich, Castle and cultural heritage monument in Aurich, Germany
The castle features a prominent south wing with a tower from the 15th century and maintains its original architectural character through multiple renovations.
Initially constructed as a fortress for the East Frisian Cirksena chiefs, the structure underwent substantial reconstruction during the Kingdom of Hanover period from 1815 to 1866.
The castle forms an essential part of the cultural corridor in Aurich, connecting with nearby churches, museums, and an art pavilion in the district.
The eastern section of the building houses the district court since 1879, while the Lower Saxony State Office for Benefits and Pensions operates in other parts.
The former stables and small castle building now function as components of the Lower Saxony State Office for Benefits and Pensions in Aurich.
