Catalogue Note
The German architect Carl Heinrich Frühling (1807-1893) was appointed as an official court architect by Count Otto Zu Stolberg-Wernigerode. From 1862 to 1893, he worked on a large project at the Castle Wernigerode, turning it into one of the best examples of Neo-gothic architecture and interior decorating.
