      From 1428 a new castle was built under Hayo Harlda and subsequently expanded by his descendants Tanno Duren and Edo Wiemken. The centerpiece was a mighty keep, which was integrated into a four-wing palace complex surrounded by moats and ramparts from the 16th century. From 1560 to 1564, the then regent Maria von Jever had various renovations done in the style of the Renaissance. Among other things, she let the carved coffered ceiling move into the audience hall.

        Many rooms in the Jever Castle Museum show the splendor of the former residence: in the audience hall, an oak, carved wooden ceiling from the Renaissance period (around 1564) has been preserved. The Gobelinsaal unfolds its charisma through the Brussels tapestries from around 1680 and the elaborate ceiling painting from the late 19th century. The stock of leather wallpaper covering three rooms is the largest in public ownership in all of Lower Saxony. A wallpaper in the "antique style" forms the frame for the portraits of Jever's regents in the gallery, in which the Oldenburg (grand) dukes invited to the festive meals.
