A Piece of Culture in the Heart of the City
Wolfsburg’s over 710-year-old castle forms the cultural heart of the city. It was converted from a medieval palace into a Renaissance castle by the Lords of Bartensleben in 1574. Nowadays, the castle building not only contains the City Museum but is also home to the City Art Gallery and the “Kulturverein Wolfsburg e.V.” cultural association. Its abundance of rooms and attractive park are also used as a venue for a variety of events.
If you look towards the Arenasee lake and WakePark during your time in the Allerpark, you can enjoy the stunning view of Wolfsburg Castle as a beautiful backdrop. The gardens surrounding the castle are only a short walk away and are the perfect place to take a break and enjoy a stroll.
