LWL-Museum in der Kaiserpfalz
In the location's words:
Scientists have long puzzled over the location of Charlemagne's palace complex in Paderborn. In 1964, the time had finally come: the palace from the late 8th century was discovered during archaeological excavations north of the cathedral.
But not only the remains of this Carolingian palace complex were found. The archaeologists also uncovered the walls of the much better preserved palace of Henry II from the High Middle Ages. This complex from the 11th century was so well preserved that it was possible to rebuild it using the historical building fabric.
The museum has been housed in the historic building since 1978. On display are unique finds from Paderborn and Westphalia from the 6th to 12th centuries.
