Beschreibung
The riding hall in the outer castle area was built by Gottfried Bandhauer. In 1940, a fire destroyed almost the entire building. The riding hall was rebuilt as a concert hall and inaugurated on 29 March 2008. Together with the Remisenhaus, the building is managed as an event centre by Köthen Kultur und Marketing GmbH. The Johann Sebastian Bach Hall is located in the former riding hall. The result of the 8.5 million euro work is a sophisticated concert hall with good acoustics. The architectural firm responsible for the planning was awarded the Saxony-Anhalt Architecture Prize for the remodelling in 2010.
