Kunstmuseum Schloss Derneburg

The small community of Holle has a great attraction. Even from a distance you can see the striking pagoda roof of Derneburg Castle, unrestricted landmark of this lovely landscape a few kilometres south-east of Hildesheim. Originally built as a castle in the 12th century and later converted into a palace by court architect Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves, the estate has always had great charm and has often changed hands. For example, Derneburg Castle belonged to the painter Georg Baselitz for a time before the American art collector Andrew Hall bought it and turned it into a private museum. Today, by appointment, you can visit the exhibition with more than 5500 works by great masters such as Beuys, Immendorf, Lüpertz, Gormley and Warhol.
