The castle Ballenstedt stands in the west of the city on a northern spur of the Harz mountains. Thanks to its exposed location, it towers majestically above all other buildings of the former royal residence of the princes of Anhalt-Bernburg.

Ballenstedt Castle is worth a detour. The whole ensemble with the long, slowly rising driveway avenue, castle square, castle, park with some hillside location ... a real gem that is not so well known.
