Location: Ballenstedt, Landkreis Harz, Harz Mountains, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
The most impressive castle in the Harz Mountains. The tombs of Margrave Albrecht the Bear and his wife Sophie are also located here. The palace park is one of the twelve most important of the 43 Garden Dreams complexes.
The former monastery castle trumps with the "Roman Room" created around 1788, the exhibition "The Early Ascanians" and the castle tower. In the north wing there is also the Film Museum Schloss Ballenstedt, which takes you through the history of cinema and film over the past 100 years.
