Not far from the castle is the New Castle on the western branch of the Elde. Construction began in 1619, but work stopped in 1624 and was completed in 1717. It was the residence of the later Duke Christian Ludwig II from 1725 to 1735. Worth seeing are the stucco ceilings restored by Polish specialists.
