Sight 3: Welfenschloss

Show sight on map

The Guelph Castle Münden is a former castle in Hann. Münden in southern Lower Saxony, which was included in the medieval city fortifications of Münden. The palace complex, which today consists of two wings, was built from 1501 by Duke Erich I of Brunswick-Lüneburg as a residential palace with administrative headquarters in the Gothic style, with a predecessor complex to be assumed to be a medieval castle. When the Guelph Castle was destroyed by fire in 1560, Duke Erich II had it rebuilt in the style of the Weser Renaissance or Dutch Renaissance as a four-winged complex from 1571 onwards. At his death in 1584, the building was unfinished and lost its importance, as the Guelph sovereigns used it only sporadically as a place to stay. After destruction in the Thirty Years' War, the castle was used as barracks and later as a granary. Today it is the seat of public institutions.
