    There is very good parking at the church and from there it is not far to the 🏰.
    "Their roofs have crumbled and the wind blows through the halls...", that is how this castle can really be described, in the truest sense of the word 😉.
    Stack is an old Low German word for border. The 🏰 was on the geographical border of the Wernigerode county. But the Stapelburg was not under a good star. Its owners were constantly suffering from acute financial difficulties and had no overdraft at the bank.
    As early as 1509 it was in a very poor condition. There were constant disputes over its ownership. And the castle continued to decay.

        Not only cherries, but also plum trees line our way to the castle ruins, where a castle festival takes place every year.
