Seeburg is dominated by the castle of the same name, visible from afar and rising majestically on a peninsula above the Süßer See (Sweet Lake). It is the western part of an ancient, very large refuge. Since the late 1990s, the castle has been divided into private ownership, changing hands several times. This has resulted in the castle remaining unrenovated, standing empty, and falling into disrepair. The Widow's Tower and the castle church, however, have been renovated and are owned by a fruit farm. They are used as a residence, for vacation apartments, as a registry office, and for concerts. The new orangery on the lake promenade represents a further step toward tourism. The architecturally sophisticated new building will allow year-round operation.

In 979, a document first mentions a "Castellum." Querfurt has had a castle since then at the latest. The town itself was first mentioned in documents about a hundred years earlier. The castle was the ancestral seat of the noble lords of Querfurt, who for centuries were also burgraves of Magdeburg. With the death of Bruno XI of Querfurt in 1496, the noble family died out. The castle proved impregnable until 1640, but changed hands several times during the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648). The Swedish occupation lasted from 1642 to 1650. In 1663, the princes of Saxe-Querfurt made the castle their residence and Querfurt the capital of their domain.

The 57-meter-high Paris Tower at Querfurt Castle was originally called the Hausmannsturm (Houseman's Tower). It dates back to the late 14th century. Its baroque dome was added in 1659. It served as a fire watchtower until 1969; today, it can be climbed as an observation tower. There is also a tower dungeon.

Bornstedt Castle, also known as Schweinsburg, stands high on the Hornburger Sattel – a ridge on the eastern edge of the Harz Mountains. The impressive, thirty-meter-high keep of the castle ruins can be seen from far away. The former Carolingian rampart was probably built in the 8th century. The "Brunstediburg" was first mentioned in documents around 880 in the Hersfeld tithe register. It consisted of a stone core castle with a keep and an outer castle, once surrounded by a ring wall and a moat. In 1115, Emperor Henry V used Bornstedt Castle as a station for his troops in the battles at Welfesholz during the Saxon Wars. From 1301 to 1780, the complex was owned by the Counts of Mansfeld, and from 1502 it was one of their residences. During the Thirty Years' War, Bornstedt Castle lost importance and began to decay.
