Castle Salzdahlum (German: Schloss Salzdahlum) was a former summer palace built by Anthony Ulrich, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel in 1684. For cost reasons, the buildings were almost exclusively made of wood, with the cladding giving the impression of a building made of sandstone. In 1813 the castle was demolished due to dilapidation; today there are almost no remains of the building.
Background
Located in the Electorate of Saxony between Braunschweig and Wolfenbüttel, the palace was the location where Frederick II of Prussia married Elisabeth Christine of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, Queen of Prussia in 1733. The large art collection that used to be kept there is largely intact and can be viewed locally at the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum.
