Braunschweig Castle, a classicist three-wing complex, was reconstructed between 2005 and 2007 and now houses the Schlossarkaden, the castle museum, and the city library. Originally built between 1833 and 1841, it stands as a testament to the residence of the Dukes of Brunswick. Architect Hermann Korb left his distinctive mark on the structure.
