In the 16th century, the Dukes of Brunswick had Paul Francke expand the castle complex into a magnificent four-winged palace complex in the Renaissance style. For a good 100 years until 1659, the palace served as a summer residence for the princes of Wolfenbüttel and as a widow's residence for three duchesses. Duke Julius, who lived at Hessen Castle for several years as crown prince, and his son Heinrich Julius, born here in 1564, ensured that the palace was furnished in a princely, representative manner. Under Duke Heinrich Julius, who was also Bishop of Halberstadt and Rector of the University of Helmstedt, Hessen Castle developed into a cultural center of the region. This duke, who also introduced the Reformation to Halberstadt Cathedral in 1591, was considered the most learned prince of his time. The Renaissance garden, laid out by the botanist and princely gardener Johann Royer from 1607 to 1655 with generous support from the Duchesses Elisabeth and Anna Sophie, became famous. This is how one of the most important pleasure gardens in the Mannerist style was created, the appearance of which is preserved in a copperplate engraving by Merian. Together with the adjacent botanical garden, the plant collection with over 1,700 species and varieties overshadowed even royal gardens such as those in Copenhagen and Oxford. Source: Display board

The church has elements of Gothic (windows), Renaissance and Baroque (gables). This stylistic diversity is characteristic of the post-Gothic period, in which the elements of Gothic were deliberately used to convey "ancient venerability". The history of the main church BMV is closely linked to the development of Wolfenbüttel into a ducal residence. To the east of the castle there was previously a small chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary, which was first mentioned in documents in 1301. Duke Henry the Younger converted it into a ducal burial place in 1533, and the first large Protestant church was built on this site around half a century later, retaining the name. The trigger was a request from the "preachers and church fathers" with which they approached the reigning Duke Henry Julius in January 1604. He was also keen to build a new burial place for the princely family at the same time. Construction began in 1608 under the direction of the ducal master builder Paul Francke. In 1613, work had progressed so far that Duke Heinrich Julius, who had died unexpectedly in Prague, could be buried in the new princely crypt. Despite the Thirty Years' War, construction work was largely completed by 1624. The temporary roof on the tower was not replaced by the current baroque spire until 1751. The portals on the north and south sides are attributed to the sculptor Jacob Meyerheine. St. Mary's Church was intended to be a church for preaching and communion to proclaim the Reformation faith to the community, but at the same time to fulfill the desire for princely representation. Paul Francke drew on the Gothic concept of the Low German hall churches. At the same time, St. Mary's Church also shows ideas of "humanistic architecture" from Italy and the Dutch Renaissance. The total work of art, combined in its own "manner", is thus an example of German Mannerism. However, the west portal, completed in 1645, was clearly created in the Baroque style. Source: Wikipedia
