Bergedorf Castle

The beautiful Bergedorf Castle is the only remaining castle in the Hamburg city area.

Hamburg's only surviving castle is in Bergedorf. However, queens or princes never lived here, but the Bergedorf Castle was a purely administrative building for the landlords, officials and later the Hamburg senators responsible for Bergedorf.The building was laid out as a moated castle on the Bille in the 13th century and was expanded and rebuilt over the centuries. It stands in the middle of a listed park and is the landmark of Bergedorf. Today it serves as a museum for Bergedorf and the Vierlande.

Hamburg's only still existing castle! For this reason alone you would have to go to Bergedorf. If you look at the area around the castle, you can still see the village character.
By the way, there is not only a museum in the castle, but also a café with a very good selection of cakes.
