Erbdrostenhof
A baroque noble residence designed by Schlaun. Its slanted facade and festive hall are among the finest baroque works in northern Germany.
Built from 1753 to 1757 for the hereditary Erbdrost (high steward) family, the residence was designed by Schlaun, who skillfully set its three wings diagonally across a street corner, creating a curved forecourt. The second-floor festival hall has splendid frescoes but is usually closed. It occasionally hosts concerts or guided tours. The exterior can be seen from Salzstraße, and it is worth visiting together with the Clemenskirche opposite.
