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.

The best preserved part of the Kyffhausen Imperial Castle is the lower castle, which was only uncovered in the 1930s and partially rebuilt. It has an almost closed ring wall that is preserved up to a height of 10 metres. In the lower castle, the remains of walls and foundations of residential and commercial buildings from various construction phases of the castle, as well as the stump of the keep, have been uncovered. In the rear part, next to the chapel that was renovated in the 15th century, a second tower, possibly a residential tower, has risen. The lower castle must have already existed in 1118, as there is clear evidence of the destruction that took place in that year. However, it is unlikely that it was founded much earlier than the 12th century.

This free car park with three spaces is somewhat hidden on the way to the Grillenberg castle ruins. Please do not drive any further, even if it seems possible. After that there are no more parking spaces and the route is short.

According to legend, the Grasburg in the forest area known as Old Stolberg between Stempeda and Rottleberode in the southern Harz Mountains is the ancestral castle of the Counts of Stolberg.

The hilltop castle was built between 1200 and 1250, probably by the Counts of Beichlingen. The castle was last used for military purposes in 1633, when it served as quarters for a company of war soldiers fighting against the Harz Riflemen by the war commissioner Valenthin Rothmehler. The castle was already described as desolate during the Peasants' War. By 1649 the castle had already fallen into such disrepair that only a few cellars were usable. Source: Wikipedia

It is one of many medieval castle ruins in the southern Vorharz. It lies 70 meters above the village of Questenberg, at an altitude of 270 meters above sea level.

With fantastic views of Mansfeld and the country. A must🥰

My absolute highlight. The Kyffhäuser Monument is impressive, but the Lower Castle is charming and not overcrowded, at least outside of the holidays. Very romantic.
