Schloss Oldenburg (Oldenburg palace) is a schloss in the city of Oldenburg in the state of Lower Saxony, Germany. It is the former residence of the counts (1667–1785), dukes (1785–1815) and grand dukes (1815–1918) of Oldenburg. The building houses part of the State Museum for Art and Cultural History, especially concerning decorative arts and local history, as well as some old master paintings. Immediately outside the castle to the west and north is the Schlossplatz. Opposite to the north is the Schlosshöfe shopping mall, opened in 2011. To the south are the Prinzenpalais and Augusteum, also part of the State Museum for Art and Cultural History. To the southwest is the Elisabeth-Anna-Palais, adjacent to the Schlossgarten Oldenburg, the main public park in Oldenburg. ==History== In 1607–1667, the present schloss served as the residence of Anthony Günther, Count of Oldenburg (1583–1667). After his death, without a legitimate heir, most of his land fell into the hands of the Danish royal family for more than a hundred years. During this period, a Danish governor resided in the castle. In 1773, the Holstein-Gottorf family took over control of the newly created Duchy of Oldenburg until 1860. In that year, Grand Duke Nikolas Peter Friedrich (1827–1900) moved to the nearby Prinzenpalais. By 1894, the schloss was the residence of the hereditary Grand Duke Friedrich August (1852–1931). After his abdication as the reigning Grand Duke during the November Revolution of 1918, the schloss was transferred to the Landesmuseum Oldenburg by the Government of the State of Oldenburg in 1919–20 and it was transferred to public ownership in 1923. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schloss Oldenburg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
