Burg Krosigk, Medieval castle in Petersberg, Germany.
Burg Krosigk is a castle in Petersberg featuring a tower dating back to the 12th century and segments of its original protective wall. A wide moat encircles the fortress to defend the enclosed space.
The fortress was originally built as a ministerial castle and served as a defensive stronghold during medieval times in the Saxony-Anhalt region. It held importance for controlling and securing the surrounding territory.
The painted walls inside show medieval craftsmanship and tell stories about daily life in that era. These artistic remains reflect how people lived and worked within the fortress.
The grounds are open to explore and connect to walking paths toward the nearby Krosigk windmill and water mill. Sturdy footwear is recommended since the terrain can be uneven.
The castle sits at 176 meters in elevation and offers sweeping views across the Saalekreis district landscape. From this vantage point, visitors can clearly see the flat farmland and distant hills.
