ヴァスビュッテルの洞窟・トップ9

Not immediately recognizable as a castle, with a moat and an open door offering a glimpse into the castle garden.

An impressive building in the old town.

over the Schunter and you are in Thune

I have driven past the castle several times, and it is definitely worth stopping. Wikipedia and Carsten Henze's interesting website contain a wealth of information about the history and current condition. As one would hardly suspect from the outside, large parts of the castle have been renovated. The outer facade was therefore deliberately left in its current state - which gives the castle a morbid charm. I was amazed by the photos of the interior of the castle, which can be rented for celebrations. The castle moat is fed by the Schunter. The Jazz in the Park festival took place at the castle in 2018. In short: interesting complex, clear recommendation!

The so-called Kavalierhaus is one of the most important buildings in Gifhorn in terms of architectural history. It was built in 1546 for a senior court official. The stone façade in the Renaissance style is unique among Gifhorn's town houses. The renowned castle and fortress builder Michale Clare worked here and was also responsible for the castle as an architect. A portal inside at the passage to a representative room and even the back of the building with its mighty oak framework aggressively showcase status and wealth. The vaulted cellar and the high attic, which are still largely original, also date from the construction period. Here you will find, among other things, an intact freight elevator wheel that was installed around 1700. The listed house was extensively renovated between 2008 and 2010 in accordance with listed building regulations. It is supported by the Kavalierhaus Community Foundation and, in addition to the museum, houses other cultural institutions.

Here you can go for a wonderful walk in the small park near the castle

After the castle, the Kavaliershaus is the oldest building in Gifhorn. It is from 1546 and is a listed building.
