    According to plans by master builder Franz Friedrich Rothweil from 1743, an arched structure consisting of two building sections was originally planned, which was only built in the west. The curved, well-proportioned building was completed in 1755. The relief in the gable above the entrance, with its depiction of horses, testifies to its important role at the princely court.

    The stables now house a museum dedicated to Christian Daniel Rauch and his era. The sculptor, born in Bad Arolsen, is considered one of the most important neoclassical artists in Europe.

    Impressive castle, which invites you to take a photo when you are out sightseeing. Driving through the town including a break in a café / restaurant / ice cream parlor is definitely worth it!
