Kalbe Castle is a former water castle from the 10th century - a ruin over 1,000 years old! A stop is worthwhile for the mystical atmosphere of the castle alone.

Kalbe Castle is a historic moated castle first documented in 1196, but its origins likely date back to the 9th or 10th century. In 1324, it came into the possession of the von Alvensleben family, who expanded the complex into the largest castle in the Altmark region. After a devastating fire in 1584, the castle was rebuilt one last time.

During the Thirty Years' War, the castle was demolished in August 1632 by the residents of Kalbe and the surrounding villages on the orders of the Elector of Brandenburg. Today, only ruins remain of the once imposing complex, which is considered a prominent landmark of the town. The "Altes Wachhaus" castle and local history museum is located on the former castle grounds. It is housed in the town's oldest surviving building, dating from 1584, and offers insight into regional history.
