Schloss Wolfenbüttel, Royal palace in Wolfenbüttel, Germany
The castle contains four wings arranged around a polygonal courtyard, with Renaissance and Baroque architectural elements incorporated into its stone structure.
The first recorded mention of the castle dates to 1074 when Widekind of Wolfenbüttel constructed a fort near the settlement of Wulferisbuttle.
The castle hosted Germany's first indoor permanent theatre during the late 16th century, featuring performances by an English theatrical company.
The castle houses multiple institutions, including a gymnasium secondary school, the Federal Academy of Arts Education, and a museum of historical rooms.
The castle features the Hausmannsturm tower from 1613 and an Italian-style arcade courtyard added in 1575 during the Renaissance period.
