Burgplatz, Brunswick

Highlight • Historical Site

The original Dankwarderode Castle was destroyed by fire in the 13th century. The palace was rebuilt in 1616. After another fire in 1873, only one ruin remained, which the city acquired in 1878. Around 1900 the city building councilor Ludwig Winter reconstructed and rebuilt it in its current form.

Today the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum's Medieval Department is located there.

St. Blasii Cathedral (Braunschweig Cathedral)

Highlight • Religious Site

The cathedral church is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
From the beginning of January to mid-March, the cathedral is closed from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

The medieval equipment is very important:
Imervard Cross, seven-armed chandelier, Marian altar and artistic wall paintings.

Brunswick Lion

Highlight • Monument

A copy of the Braunschweig Lion has stood on Burgplatz since 1980. But this is by no means the only replica of the Braunschweig landmark. Exact copies of the lion can be found in beautiful gardens and in front of historical walls throughout Germany. The most distant copy is in Weingarten in Baden-Württemberg, about 600 kilometers south of the Lion City. I can't explain to you why the lion has a pig's nose, a dog's mouth and human ears. Maybe it's just me who sees it that way.

Braunschweig Palace and Schloss-Arkaden

Highlight • Castle

A very beautiful building that is intended to be reminiscent of the castle 🏰 from times gone by. Inside there is a shopping center “Die Schloss-Arkaden” where you can shop!
