    Tips

    A very beautiful building that is intended to be reminiscent of the castle 🏰 from times gone by. Inside there is a shopping center “Die Schloss-Arkaden” where you can shop!

      Badly damaged, it was demolished in 1960.
      In 2006, the main facade including the castle volume was rebuilt in its original form with more than 600 original parts.
      Here, not only the shopping center is located behind the facade, but also a small museum in the northern half.

        Square with 2 equestrian statues and temple of consumption behind newly built old facade. The old Braunschweig palace was demolished in 1960 after a tight vote.

          Carl and Friedrich Wilhelm were only re-erected here with the completion of the new palace; previously they stood on Kurt-Schumacher-Straße

            A little shocked at first how culture can be messed up with a shopping center.
            But then I was told that the castle was demolished in the 70s and the current castle is a reconstruction.

              After years of controversial discussions, the building was rebuilt on the old site as a new building.

              "In 2006, 46 years after the demolition, the main facade including the castle volume was rebuilt with more than 600 original parts based on old plans and historical photos in its original size and on the historic site, largely true to the original.
              In the neighboring “Schloss-Arkaden” shopping center, around 150 shops and restaurants were built.

                At first I was a little shocked at how one could spoil culture with a shopping center.
                But let me tell you that the castle was demolished in the 70s and that today's castle is a reconstruction.

                          Also a beautiful place with the equestrian pictures, the coats of arms on the building or the quadriga on the roof.
                          Also very beautiful inside.
