Castle church in Lauchhammer Castle Park

The 14-hectare palace park dates back to the time when Baroness von Löwendal had the palace renovated. The strictly symmetrical garden with its many exotic plants was designed to match the baroque palace. The park and castle experienced a changeful fate. After the death of the patroness, the park was redesigned in the prevailing English style. It was devastated by storms twice - in 1912 and 2007 - and has been restored again and again. Rows of hedges indicate the location of Mückenberg Castle, which fell victim to arson on April 24, 1945.

The baroque building was occupied by Baroness von Löwendal in 1738 after the thorough renovation of the almost dilapidated previous building. She lived here until her death in 1776. The replica of the figure of the “Lady of Herculaneum” on a traffic circle is a reminder of the origins of the art foundry.

The former castle church from 1746 is also worth a visit. Instead of a bell tower, it only has a modest ridge turret, as it was adapted to the exterior of the former orangery in order to create a harmonious ensemble of buildings. The interior is in the rococo style, which is rare for churches. Concerts and other events are held in the church.

There is an animal enclosure at the edge of the castle park. The castle park is the venue for the town festival every two years.
