Burg Walternienburg
Burg Walternienburg, Medieval castle in Zerbst, Germany
The castle includes a 30-meter-high tower with walls measuring 3.5 meters thick and an interior space of two meters by two meters.
First mentioned in documents from 973, the castle was given to the Archbishopric of Magdeburg as part of a trade and honey tithe donation.
The medieval keep and sections of the circular wall represent architectural elements that demonstrate the construction methods of fortified structures in Saxony-Anhalt.
The castle grounds contain visible remnants of the original moat and wall system, allowing visitors to understand the medieval defensive layout.
The name addition 'Walter' appeared in 1359, potentially connected to Count Walter II of Arnstein-Barby who governed the fortress.
