Kunstmuseum Moritzburg Halle (Saale)

## Brief Description

Castle of Modernity

## Description

Standing in front of the gate tower, you might wonder how such an impressive castle became a modern museum. Or you can cross the moat without asking questions, driven by pure curiosity, and start exploring. The Moritzburg was once the residence of the Archbishops of Magdeburg. During the Thirty Years' War, it suffered fire and sieges, leaving only a ruin behind. Today, as an imposing monument built of rubble stone, it rises amid modern city streets and houses the Kunstmuseum Moritzburg Halle (Saale). Exciting architecture forms the setting for important sculptures, paintings, and prints tracing the art history of the 20th century.
