    Beautiful 1000-year-old castle in a great location with a fantastic view over the rock 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. These include the palace with three fully furnished showrooms, militaria and exhibitions on the tithe and the history of the castle.

      Overwhelming view of the castle perched on the rocky plateau

        Located directly in the old town center on a one-way street, but unfortunately closed
