    Beautiful, old castle in a great location with a fantastic view over the rocky town of Pottenstein. The castle has belonged to the Barons of Wintzingerode since 1918. Parts of the privately owned and still inhabited buildings can now be visited as a museum. This includes the Palas with three fully furnished showrooms, militaria and exhibitions on tithes and the history of the castle.

    Pottenstein Castle was probably founded in the 11th century. It is characterized by its very beautiful location with a wonderful view of the city and countryside from the park-like garden of the upper castle.

    In the summer months, the facility is open from Wednesday to Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is 5 euros. All information about the castle can be found here: burgpottenstein.de.
