Located in the quarter of Holdenstedt, the Castle Museum houses the town's local history museum. Permanent exhibitions include furniture from the Middle Ages to art nouveau, a glass collection, works by the animal painter, Georg Wolf, and archaeological finds from the local area. Holdenstedt Castle was the seat of a noble family and was built at the beginning of the 18th century on the site of an earlier castle, but has been modified several times. In the water mill, not far from the Holdenstedt Castle Museum, are the exhibition rooms for the Uelzen Local History Museum's archaeological division.
