Burg Aschersleben, Medieval castle in Aschersleben, Germany.
The castle sits on the Wolfsberg hill, with remaining sections of fortification walls and a tower measuring 160 meters in diameter.
Built between 1000 and 1100, the castle underwent modifications in 1446 and experienced significant dismantling of its walls in 1872.
The castle represents an example of medieval German defensive architecture and stands as a testament to regional construction methods.
The castle grounds are now part of the Aschersleben Zoo, where visitors can observe the tower structure currently used as an owl enclosure.
The permanent exhibition in the animal keeper's house documents the castle's transformation from a defensive structure to a modern wildlife facility.
