Wolfsburg Castle
The Wolfsburg is a medieval lowland water castle in Lower Saxony that was transformed into a four-winged Weser Renaissance schloss and completed in its present form by 1620. It retains a compact quadrangular plan around an inner courtyard with several stair-towers and a massive bergfried integrated into the west wing. Today it is owned by the town of Wolfsburg and used as a public cultural site.

As it stood in 1620
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact four-sided stone palace surrounding an inner courtyard, built of pale local stone with dark slate pointed roofs; multiple steep gables, lucarnes and corbelled rooflines give a jagged silhouette. A plain, windowless bergfried (roughly square) is set into the west wing and several stair-towers—one hexagonal Wendelstein and taller rectangular Hausmannsturm—rise above the wings. The long north wing forms the main entrance front; the complex sits in a park-like lowland setting formerly protected by moats.
