We should really thankful to those people centuries ago constructed these great structures. Every inch has a history and a story and a voice. Kids should be made to learn about these buildings and the people behind it.

Enjoyed the Nativity the children put on. Wished there was more music

This is a marvelous place to visit. Beautiful frescoes! It was great to see the tomb of Henry the Lion and Mathilde as well as the wonderfully atmospheric crypt.

Braunschweig Cathedral is a truly extraordinary place that left a profound impact on me. From the moment I stepped inside, I was transported to a bygone era, overwhelmed by the weight of history that permeates every corner of this majestic structure. The cathedral's architecture is a testament to human creativity and skill. Its soaring spires and intricate details are a sight to behold. The craftsmanship on display is nothing short of remarkable, with each delicate carving and carefully placed stone revealing the dedication and talent of the artisans who brought this architectural masterpiece to life. Every turn brought new surprises, and I found myself lost in admiration, marveling at the sheer grandeur of it all. However, the cathedral's beauty extends far beyond its physical appearance. Its walls reverberate with stories of centuries past, and the sense of timelessness is palpable. It has witnessed historical events, joyous celebrations, and solemn moments of reflection. As I learned about its rich history, I couldn't help but feel a deep reverence for the generations that came before us and the cultural heritage they left behind. Inside the cathedral, I encountered a collection of special sculptures that added an extra layer of fascination. These sculptures, meticulously crafted with exquisite detail, seemed to possess a life of their own. Their expressive forms and captivating presence drew me in, and I was captivated by the stories they told. Each one was a testament to the artistic prowess of the past, reminding me of the power of human creativity and the ability to transform stone into something truly extraordinary. In conclusion, Braunschweig Cathedral is more than just a building. It is a gateway to the past, an architectural wonder, and a repository of history and art. Visiting this remarkable cathedral is an immersive experience that will transport you to ancient times and leave you with a deep appreciation for the enduring legacy of our ancestors. Prepare to be enchanted by its timeless beauty, to marvel at its architectural splendor, and to be moved by the stories it silently whispers.

The structure of the pilars is quite diverse and unusual.

Excellent, Beautiful. The Organ representding Angel Wings was amazing

A long overdue piece , I visited this absolutely beautiful cathedral in April, it was a cloudy morning and I was incidentally in time for Ms.Monika's famed church tour (it was around 11 am ) , and boy was i was amazed. She breathed and lived the cathedral's rich history, dark times and the subsequent restoration. Her impeccable attention to detail and careful explanation bought the cathedral to life. A proficient bi -lingual (German and English) , she did an outstanding job to weave the narrative of the journey of the cathedral from past to present. The tour itself is about an hour and free , the cathedral has stood the test of time and is a testament to faith, history and changing times of the surrounding regions. The architecture (gothic- renaissance) is a splendid remainder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the city itself. The staff and local agencies involved are doing a wonderful job of preserving this splendid piece of architecture, if Braunschweig is not on your radar, give it a try, gems like these won't dissapoint you.

Stunning City Palace with a remarkable history. The old home of the Dukes of Braunschweig, the last of whom abdicated in 1918, the Schloss was destroyed twice, first by fire and then of course in the bombing raids of the Second World War. Against massive protests it was demolished in the 1960s and finally rebuilt in the 2000s to cover a shopping mall. You can easily spot the parts that came from the original Schloss. The architecture is beautiful and the site is in the centre of the city so absolutely a must visit when in Braunschweig. There’s a small museum in the left hand wing of the palace that is free, as well as the lifts to see the Quadriga at the very top that’s also free for the time being. The entrance is just to the right of the main entrance.

In Brunswick's schlossplatz stands the stunning building known as Brunswick Palace. When I passed by this majestic monument on the route to Gaussberg Park, I must admit that it was awe-inspiring. Only when I travel to the UK do I see monuments like this. According to what I was told, this palace was constructed sometime in the 18th century and underwent a number of renovations over its existence. I have heard that it once served as a residence for the Brunswick dukes in the 18th century. Wonderful to pass past this building.

Very large market set stores all to wear. To all ages and restaurants of supermarkets sweetened glasses and more

There is a good place to spend time and eating, shopping...

Beautiful place to in the evening filled with people and you enjoy a drink and great shopping and food options.

Very beautiful building with a lot of shops inside, interesting connection old with a new one

Very nice view from the top of the buiding. And the statue is fantastic (and very heavy!?). You must see it.

Surprised by the buildings. Such a great work of art. Honestly, we saw multiple artistic things in the city but this caught my attention. They were renovated and created like this. Very unique and attractive designs. Must visit tourist attractions!!

Interesting and striking modern house with colourful pop-art covering it. Radically different to the surrounding buildings and worth a stop by as it’s between the Schloss and St Magni Church…

Very beautiful building to take good photos

name says it all, Happy Rizzi house, great place for happy and funny pictures.

It's quite interesting to look at!

An eye catching construction in the old city of Braunschweig.

Eye catching design. Love it. Colorful

One of my favorite places where you can feel the weight of history.

really beautiful place with amazing architecture and tons of small details you'll miss unless you really look for them!

In some ways the building is the best feature. The size of the exterior belies the small exhibition space inside. It is one hall containing Gothic and Romanesque pieces. There are tapestries, altar pieces, paintings and other smaller objects. It would take about half an hour to see them all. Some of the the Ivory carvings are quite good. In addition there is also the original lion from the castle square outside in the collection. While it forms part of the Herzog Anton Ulrich museum, it doesn't seem to offer a combination ticket to see both museums.

if you love medieval, you'll love thid

Dankwarderode Castle on the Burgplatz ("castle square") in Brunswick is a Saxon lowland castle. It was the residence of the Brunswick dukes for centuries and, today, is part of the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum. Dankwarderode Castle was built between c. 1160 and 1175 as the Pfalz of Duke Henry the Lion on an island in the river Oker. Next to the castle, construction of Brunswick Cathedral began in 1173. The castle lost its military significance as a defensive structure early. Visit: 1. Brunswick Lion, original on display in the museum. 2. Arm reliquary of Saint Blaise on display in the museum.

Amazing place, castle you won't forget visiting.

Exhibition is only one dark room with little description on the items. (makes onky sense with a tour or if you already know about the stuff)

Lovely collection of everything from everywhere. The museum by itself is in a very good condition, I mostly did like the sculptures, some of the paintings are quite interesting to look at. The overall presented collection is good, but not extremely amazing.

The museum itself is really nice, collection of paintings was well organized and quite impressive. We didn’t have a chance to finish our tour because we were quite rudely pushed out of the museum when it was 17.45 (museum closes at 6pm), some particular worker insisted on us leaving. I mean, I know it’s a museum, but being used to visiting some famous museums, I was quite surprised by this attitude (and a bit of rushed closing procedure). If you really like good art and happened to be in Braunschweig - definitely worth a visit, but I wouldn’t travel here specifically for this museum as we did.

What an amazing place. It is packed full of the most wonderful paintings, sculptures and ceramics. This is just one example of the beautiful paintings. I was not aware of the history of this town but the collection gives any big city gallery a run for its money in quality and size of the collection. A fantastic find and a must go to if you like this type of thing. The gallery was very quiet no fighting to get to see pictures like you sometimes have to in big city galleries. The staff were very helpful and very knowledgeable wanting to share information with us.

One of the must see sites in Brunswick. We enjoyed the paintings of the masters of the German, Italian and Flemish schools of painting during the Renaissance. Many of the paintings are accompanied by a soundtrack, which creates a unique and pleasant effect.

Great Museum, nice atmosphere, not too crowded, great staff and amazing shop!

A really top notch Gemäldegalerie, Schwerpunkt baroque so if you like that you’re in luck, but overall a fabulous collection with some thrilling pieces by Strozzi, Spranger, Bassano, Vouet, Tintoretto, Veronese, Fiorentino, van Heemskerk... I could go on and on! Aside from the paintings the museum itself has had an immaculate renovation and really shines. Bonus: I had the museum essentially to myself for the first four hours it was open, a really sacred experience. Go to Braunschweig JUST to see this. Go tomorrow.

The museum has a nice paintings collection (xv - xviii century) with a few astounding pieces (Vermeer, Rembrandt, Rubens, Giorgione, Tintoretto, Holbein, Cranach) and a free informative booklet about the collection but it is in urgent need of a new light concept because at the moment it really doesn't work: reflections, shadows, etc. don't allow you to appreciate many of the exhibits. The sculpture and applied art is the true surprise though: very rich and good organized. Overall absolutely worth a visit.
