Burg Apenburg, Medieval castle in Apenburg-Winterfeld, Germany
The castle complex spans 2000 square meters and features a bergfried tower, stone walls, and remnants of a moat on artificial elevated ground.
Built around 1200, the castle secured the Purnitz Pass for roads connecting Salzwedel to Gardelegen and Braunschweig to Osterburg during medieval times.
The von der Schulenburg family managed the castle from 1351, establishing a hereditary burial site with a neo-Gothic memorial chapel in 1860.
The remaining structures include a 25-meter bergfried tower in the northeastern corner, a pointed arched entrance gate, and sections of surrounding walls.
The bergfried underwent transformation in 1840, changing from a defensive tower to an observation point while maintaining its original foundation.
