Our tip: join a tour of the castle and you will have the chance to see the mysterious pictures etched on the walls. Many years ago, these were scratched into the plaster by young princes. In doing so, they created a lasting insight into their lives at the time. Afterwards, you can head to the Hauptmannstube, put on some VR goggles and travel through time to various eras. So come and take a look!

The museum has information on topics such as the history of the town and castle and how life used to be for the dowager duchesses of Saxony-Merseburg in the Delitzsch ladies' castle in the 17th and 18th centuries.
There are also numerous events at the castle including interesting talks, family tours and great concerts. Visitors are particularly welcome to come and listen to the music in the Advent season when the local district music school gives concerts.
