ヒルデスハイムの洞窟・トップ20

An overdose of culture and art in the castle, followed by a delicious piece of cake in the glasshouse.

The castle is home to the Hall Art Foundation, a great stop for art lovers. Changing contemporary art exhibitions await you within the castle walls, and a sculpture park is spread throughout the grounds. All information about opening hours and current exhibitions can be found here: http://www.hallartfoundation.org/de/

Derneburg Castle Art Museum presents exhibitions of contemporary art for a broad audience in a unique historical setting. The history of the castle near Hanover goes back almost a thousand years. For centuries it served as a nunnery and later as a monk's monastery. In the 19th century it became the property of the Dukes of Münster, who commissioned the renowned Hanoverian architect to convert it into a country estate. The artist Georg Baselitz acquired the property in 1970 and used it as a home and studio for almost thirty years until its sale in 2006. Since then, the castle and the neighboring estate have been reunited and extensively renovated. Today it is one of the largest privately owned museums in Europe open to the public, focusing on contemporary art.

The climb to the castle ruins is a bit steep but once you get to the top it is worth looking at this old building and the explanations.

Picturesque remains on an exposed hilltop
