Salder House

Salder House is a 17th century Renaissance building arranged around a central courtyard with balanced wings on either side. It now contains a city museum with exhibitions covering geology, early history, and the industrial growth that shaped this region.

The building was constructed in 1608 for a local noble family by master builder Paul Francke. Its design reflects architectural standards from the nearby court at Wolfenbüttel and shows the wealth and influence of those who lived there.

The house was home to a noble family and displays today their way of living through furnishings and objects from different periods. The exhibition rooms tell the story of how people in this area lived and worked across the centuries.

The museum is open during daytime hours from Tuesday through Sunday and is easy to locate from the street. The layout of the courtyards and exhibition rooms is straightforward, allowing visitors to navigate comfortably without confusion.

A special exhibition displays models and objects related to iron smelting and steel production that were vital to this region. Visitors can see how this area transformed from ore mining to heavy industry through these detailed displays.
