What to expect
The Kulturhistorisches Museum Schloss Merseburg is a Renaissance-style castle in Merseburg, Sachsen-Anhalt, Germany. It was once a royal palace, bishop's seat, and ducal residence. The castle has a rich history dating back to 968 when Kaiser Otto I founded the Bishopric of Merseburg. Over the centuries, the castle has undergone several transformations, including a renovation in the 19th century. Today, it serves as the seat of the Kreisverwaltung des Landkreises Saalekreis and houses the Kulturhistorisches Museum, which showcases the history and development of the city of Merseburg from prehistoric times to the present. The museum features exhibits on glass bead work, historical lighting devices, and fire starters. The castle's gardens, which date back to 1661, are part of the Gartenträume Sachsen-Anhalt network. Visitors can explore the castle's exterior and interior, including the Neptunbrunnen in the courtyard
