Wolfsburg Castle, Renaissance castle in Wolfsburg, Germany
The castle features four wings surrounding an inner courtyard with three corner towers and a central house tower reaching 23 meters high.
Originally constructed in 1302 as a medieval fortress by the Bartensleben family, the structure transformed into a Renaissance palace during the 17th century.
The castle houses multiple art institutions, including the Kunstverein Wolfsburg and Stadtmuseum, which regularly organize exhibitions of contemporary and historical works.
Guided tours allow visitors to explore notable spaces such as the Gardens Hall, Court Ledger, and Hunting Hall, along with the surrounding historical gardens.
The name Wolfsburg derives from the leaping wolf on the Bartensleben family coat of arms, dating back to 1188, rather than local wolf populations.
