Neues Schloss Arolsen, Baroque castle in Bad Arolsen, Germany
The castle features ornate baroque architecture with extensive wings, decorated interiors, stucco elements, and frescoes painted by Italian artists.
Construction began in 1710 under Prince Friedrich Anton Ulrich of Waldeck and Pyrmont, replacing an Augustinian convent mentioned in records from 1131.
The west wing houses the court library, Bibliothek Brehm, and Museum Bad Arolsen, presenting exhibitions about regional history.
Visitors can join guided tours through the castle from April to November daily, with reduced weekend hours during winter months.
