Welfenschloss, Renaissance castle in Hann. Münden, Germany
The Welfenschloss features two Renaissance rooms with extensive wall paintings, connected throughout floors by a wooden gallery and crowned by a Gothic staircase tower.
Built in 1501 as a Gothic structure, the castle burned down in 1560 and was reconstructed from 1571 in Weser Renaissance style under Duke Erich II.
The castle houses the city museum, showcasing exhibits about local history, long-distance trade, and works by sculptor Gustav Eberlein including Münden faience productions.
The building contains multiple public institutions including the district court, city archive, library, and two event halls named Ritter and Lepanto.
The Renaissance chambers within the castle display wall paintings of exceptional quality, considered unmatched in their artistic value north of the Alps.
