Gothic House

Visitors should not miss the neo-Gothic furnishings and the art collection including extremely valuable 16th and 17th century stained glass paintings, mainly from Switzerland. The Gothic House gained importance as the site of an early collection of Old German and Old Dutch paintings. Among them are many works by Lucas Cranach the Elder and the Younger. Using historical portraits, weapons, coins, unusual furniture and handicrafts, the prince created an atmosphere recalling the time of the Reformation as an important period of German and European history.
