Burg Westerhof, Medieval castle in Westerhof, Germany

The stone structure of Burg Westerhof stands on elevated ground, featuring defensive walls and a central residential building within the complex.

First documented as Castrum Westerhoue in 1294, the castle was sold by brothers Daniel and Heinrich von Westerhof to expand their territorial influence.

The castle represents a significant example of medieval German architecture, reflecting the building techniques and social structures of its time period.

Visitors can reach Burg Westerhof by following the main road through Westerhof village, with parking facilities available near the entrance.

The castle served as the administrative seat of the Westerhof district until 1859, when operations transferred to the Osterode office.
