    The Aurich castle district has been the seat of the respective administrators or rulers for centuries. In the 14th century, the chieftain's castle of the tom Brok family was built there, followed in the 15th century by the Averborg of the Cirksena noble family. The Aurich Castle, which still exists today (in very good condition), and the main guardhouse were then built in the 18th and 19th centuries. Today you can visit the tower of the castle. From there you have a good view of Aurich.

    Aurich castle district

    Castle in Aurich, East Frisia, Lower Saxony,
    The Aurich castle district is located in the former royal seat of Aurich in East Frisia. The area was initially the seat of the chiefs, then the residence of the East Frisian counts and princes and after their extinction from 1744 the seat of the Prussian, Dutch, French and Hanoverian administrative heads in East Frisia. It later became the seat of the district government. Today, in addition to the Lower Saxony State Office for Remuneration and Supply, the district court is also housed here.
