バートツヴィッシェナーンの洞窟・トップ10

Events often take place on the castle square.

発掘調査により、その施設の存在が確認されました - 看板には次のように書かれています：かつて3つの山は城の丘、ドライベルゲンでした。同じ名前の町の北岸の海辺に、「3つの山」が印象的にそびえ立っています。多くの人がこれらの丘について疑問に思ったことでしょう。考古学者ディーター・ツォラー博士の発掘調査が証明しているように、これらは単なる単純な隆起以上のものです。12世紀半ばには、ここにエルムンドルフ伯爵の城塞がありました。情報看板がその歴史を説明しています。 https://www.bad-zwischenahn.de/de/gemeindeportrait/geschichte/Elmendorfer-Burg.php

Excavations confirmed the existence of the complex - information boards: Three mountains used to be the Dreibergen castle hill. "Three mountains" stand out in the town of the same name on the northern shore of the sea. Many people have certainly puzzled over the hills. They are - as excavations by archaeologist Dr. Dieter Zoller prove - more than just simple elevations. In the middle of the twelfth century, a castle complex belonging to the Counts of Elmendorf stood here. Information boards present the history. https://www.bad-zwischenahn.de/de/gemeindeportrait/geschichte/Elmendorfer-Burg.php

As inconspicuous as the castle may be from the outside, it is all the more impressive from the inside. A visit is absolutely worthwhile and even teaches the locals something about "our" history. There are many interesting exhibits to discover. Tip: Drinks are not allowed in the museum. However, we were offered to keep our drinks behind the cashier. Very friendly staff!

The museum also shows changing exhibitions and has two other locations: the Augusteum houses the Old Masters Gallery, and the Prinzenpalais houses the New Masters Gallery with paintings from the 19th century onwards.

History The castle was founded on a medieval lowland castle, built around 1100 by the Counts of Oldenburg to control a long-distance trade route from Westphalia to East Frisia. It was first explicitly mentioned in 1275, and a keep appears in a document in 1313. At that time, the individual buildings had to be founded on oak piles. Around 1400, the circular complex was given a moat and outer rampart under Count Dietrich the Fortunate, thus becoming a moated castle. Numerous residential and farm buildings were gathered in a small space, which, around 1600, housed a court of approximately 350 people. In 1573, the castle was considered dilapidated and was therefore renovated piece by piece. The keep in the center of the courtyard had already tilted due to the marshy subsoil by 1599 and was therefore demolished in 1608.

Historic representative rooms Some of the historic representative rooms in the castle have been largely preserved to this day. These include the Antiquarium, the oval reception room, the tower room, the blue, red and green salon, the Strack Hall, the throne room, the white hall, the marble hall, the idyllic room and the castle hall. The large castle hall was built in the neo-Renaissance style and decorated with ceiling paintings by the Delmenhorst-born painter Arthur Fitger (1840–1909). The oval reception room was designed under Grand Duke Paul Friedrich August in 1836. The room was to be completed the following year for the wedding of his daughter Amalie to the Greek King Otto I. The lavish plan approved by the Grand Duke included a "boiserie" (paneling) made of light satin wood and 48 mirrored panes for the doors. However, to the great annoyance of the Grand Duke, the work was not completed on time.

Around 1400, the complex, which was laid out in a circle, was given a moat with an outer wall under Count Dietrich the Lucky, and thus became a moated castle.
