Stadtschloss Lüneburg, Baroque château and courthouse at Market Square, Lüneburg, Germany.

Stadtschloss Lüneburg is a Baroque château and courthouse located at the Market Square. The three-story structure features a raised ground floor and a central portal accessed by a monumental staircase, creating a symmetrical and formally composed facade.

Duke Georg Wilhelm of Brunswick-Lüneburg commissioned architect Johann Caspar Borchmann to build this structure between 1695 and 1700, incorporating three earlier patrician houses into the new design. The building later transitioned through military use before becoming the District Court it remains today.

The building now serves the community as a working courthouse and shapes daily activity at the Market Square. Visitors encounter it as a living civic center rather than a historical relic frozen in time.

The palace occupies the north side of the Marktplatz, with its main portal facing the square. The Landgericht Lüneburg currently uses the building, so interior access is limited to court business; the baroque facade and portal staircase can be viewed from the public square at any time.

The palace was built from 1695 to 1700 as a future widow's residence for Duchess Eleonore d'Olbreuse, wife of Duke Georg Wilhelm of Brunswick-Lüneburg. She moved in only in 1705 and lived there until her death in 1722. The building was erected by architect Johann Caspar Borchmann, who incorporated three former patrician houses into the new structure.
