Oldenburg Castle, Renaissance palace in Oldenburg, Germany
The castle structure features multiple wings arranged around a central courtyard, with parts dating from different construction periods throughout its development.
Built around 1100 as a strategic stronghold by the Counts of Oldenburg, the castle controlled important trade routes between Westphalia and East Frisia.
The State Museum for Art and Cultural History within the castle walls displays collections of decorative arts and regional artifacts from Lower Saxony.
The palace museum opens Tuesday through Sunday, offering guided tours that include access to preserved state rooms and period furnishings.
The medieval castle initially stood on wooden stilts due to the marshy ground conditions, supporting a community of 350 people by the year 1600.
