Aurich Landscape House

Highlight • Monument

This magnificent building was built in 1898 by the "Ostfriesische Landschaft" society. It still has its headquarters there today. The landscape house is a neo-renaissance building that has become an integral part of the cityscape of Aurich.

If you want to discover East Friesland from the water, you shouldn't miss a trip on the MS Stadt Aurich. There are two trips from the port of Aurich.

October 11, 2025,AURICH mit Abstecher zum Emssperrwerk

It feels like it's been 30 years since I've been to Aurich.

Shopping malls in every direction, everything has changed.

We enjoyed the last day.

Tomorrow we'll start our journey home.

No, I didn't find Aurich scary at all 😀.

For me, the most beautiful building in Aurich is the Marstall (stables) in the castle district (built in 1588, upper floor remodeled in 1730). Today, the castle and stables house a number of government offices.

We specifically looked for accommodation in the middle between Emden and Aurich. And of course we had both cities on our agenda.
Emden has clear advantages with its location and large harbor. But we really liked the city center of Aurich.

Aurich has a beautiful old town, where the historic Aurich Castle and the town church of St. Nicolai stand out. A tour takes you through picturesque streets such as Janssenstrasse and the market square, where many historic buildings can be found.

Today I spontaneously went into town, actually just to buy some shoes because my two favorite pairs are slowly falling apart and one of them is already leaking water. As soon as I arrived, I headed toward the cemetery because I wanted to see what the grave of a former classmate looked like. Only when I looked did I realize …

Tonight I'm in Aurich for my 💯 birthday. Since I've never been there before, we went on a nice exploration tour with Komot. A truly beautiful, tranquil town with a welcoming city center. We had to take a break at the harbor after the strenuous tour 😂 and enjoy an Aperol. With this amazing weather, it feels like a vacation …

With its 43,000 inhabitants, Aurich is not that tiny, it has an extensive pedestrian zone and many state administrative facilities, some of which are in historic buildings. There are also some of these to see.
