961 Giebichenstein was first mentioned. In the second half of the 12th century the construction of a stone fortification, the upper castle, began. The castle served the Archbishops of Magdeburg as a temporary seat of government, until the completion of the Moritzburg in Halle (1503) as their main residence. During the Thirty Years' War (1636) the fortress was partially ruined. At the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, the castle ruins were an important symbol of German Romanticism. In 1906, the city of Halle acquired the castle ruins from the Prussian domain administration and made them accessible to the public. It has been an open-air architecture museum since 1966. As a result of extensive restoration work since the early 1990s, further remains of the wall have been uncovered, making a visit to the Giebichenstein much more intuitive. (Circumferential walls, foundations of residential buildings, including a residential tower, with walls three to five meters thick. Foundations of the castle church 17 m long, wall thickness 2.20 m.

Since 1921, the lower castle has been the seat of today's art school in Halle - Burg Giebichenstein. Source: https://m.halle.de/de/Kultur/Tourismus/Sehenswertes/History-discovery/Burg-Giebichenstein/
