Oldenburg Castle

The Oldenburg Castle, located picturesque in the heart of the city of Oldenburg, is one of the most significant historical buildings in northwestern Germany. With its origins in the Middle Ages and its present appearance from the Renaissance period, it still radiates the splendor of its former function as the residence of the counts, dukes, and later grand dukes of Oldenburg. Today, it houses the State Museum for Art and Cultural History and is an absolute must for anyone seeking a successful blend of culture, history, and driving pleasure on their convertible tour in Lower Saxony.

Driving through the green Oldenburg Land in a convertible

The region around Oldenburg invites relaxed convertible tours with its gently winding roads, picturesque avenues, and wide landscapes. Particularly charming is the convertible route through the Ammerland, which offers many idyllic stops with its famous rhododendron parks, historic estates, and small lakes. Here, every drive becomes a genuine experience for convertible drivers due to the rural tranquility and northern German flair.

The historical city of Oldenburg itself is ideally situated for a short stopover or as a starting point for an extended convertible journey through Lower Saxony. The castle stands out as a cultural center with its white masonry, the distinctive castle square, and the spacious castle garden that invites a stroll. The state museum in the castle also provides exciting insights into the art and cultural history of the northwest – perfect for those who wish to combine their convertible route with a cultural stop.

Connection to the Megalith Culture Route

A special allure arises from the castle's proximity to the Megalith Culture Route. This holiday road connects more than 30 prehistoric large burial mounds in Lower Saxony and runs directly through the region around Oldenburg. Thus, the majestic atmosphere of Oldenburg Castle can be excellently combined with the mystical sites of the Neolithic era – an unusual but fascinating connection on your convertible tour.

Oldenburg Castle – A highlight of every convertible journey in the northwest

Whether as a cultural highlight at the end of a longer route or as a starting point for new stages – Oldenburg Castle is an ideal destination for a convertible tour in Lower Saxony. Combined with a diverse convertible route through Oldenburg Land and cultural highlights along the Megalith Culture Route, it offers a versatile travel experience.

For those wanting to go even further, the route can be extended, for example, to the North Sea coast, passing by marsh landscapes, old farms, and small towns with maritime charm. However, the castle itself remains in memory as a cultural focal point and historically significant place of tranquility.
