Schloss Jever

The Schlossmuseum Jever exhibits multiple wings around a central courtyard, with its stone walls and towers reflecting northern German architecture from medieval times.

Originally constructed in the 14th century as a fortified structure, the castle underwent substantial renovations between 1560 and 1564 to become the residence of local nobility.

The museum displays extensive collections of regional artifacts, furniture, and decorative arts that represent the material culture of Friesland through different periods.

The museum offers guided tours in multiple languages, maintains regular opening hours from Tuesday to Sunday, and provides specialized programs for educational groups.

A collection of 16th-century coins minted in Jever demonstrates the economic power of this small northern German town during its trading peak.
