Castle history and work of the association

The eye-catcher in the first exhibition room is a larger-than-life sandstone figure symbolizing "Stärke/strength", which once stood on the balcony of the central risalit of the east wing. As a result of vandalism, it was almost completely lost in the 1990s. In autumn 2008, the heavily damaged statue was partially restored with the financial support of the Sparkassenstiftung Anhalt-Zerbst.

A partially gilded double wing door was originally part of the bedroom of Princess Caroline Wilhelmine Sophie. Two preserved window sashes date back to the time of the construction of the east wing. A charred ceiling beam from the same period impressively testifies to the castle fire in 1945.
In the showcases you can see stucco ornaments and wrought-iron objects from the Baroque period as well as stove tiles and a few remains from the holdings of the castle museum. Historical photos of the castle and photographs of the work of the association make the history of the house transparent up to the present day.
