Bramburg

The medieval fortress Bramburg rises 21 meters high above the Weser River, featuring remaining walls and a substantial donjon with a dungeon.

First documented in 1063, the castle served as a fortification for Bursfelde Monastery until robber knights took control, leading to its partial destruction in 1458.

The fortress exemplifies medieval defensive architecture of northern Germany, revealing construction methods and military engineering from the 11th century onwards.

Visitors reach the ruins through a 20-minute uphill walk from the parking area near street L561, with a 1.5-kilometer circular trail around the site.

The donjon contains an underground dungeon chamber, while the elevated position provides views across the Weser valley, Glashütte village, and Bursfelde Monastery.
