Rothehof, Medieval castle and archaeological site in Wolfsburg, Germany.

The four-wing Renaissance castle stands near the River Aller, featuring defensive towers, decorated gables, and an inner courtyard surrounded by stone walls.

The von Bartensleben family established the initial tower house around 1300, which evolved into a fortified water castle before its Renaissance transformation in the 1500s.

The castle houses art galleries, exhibition spaces, and studios where sculptors, painters, and ceramic artists work and display their creations.

Guided tours of the castle reveal architectural details, including the garden hall, hunting room, and courthouse gallery, explaining the structure's development through centuries.

The castle's name, meaning Wolf Castle, originates from the von Bartensleben family coat of arms depicting a leaping wolf, which later influenced the city's naming.
