Burg Poppenburg, Medieval castle in Nordstemmen, Germany.
Burg Poppenburg stands on an elevation above the Leine River, featuring stone walls, towers, and a central courtyard surrounded by multiple structures.
The castle originated in 1049 when Emperor Henry III granted the royal estate Bobbenburg to Bishop Azelin of Hildesheim, marking its role in regional control.
The castle church of St. Joseph functioned as the parish church for surrounding villages until 1971, when a new church was built in Nordstemmen.
The castle grounds include parking facilities near the main entrance, with guided tours available through the preserved medieval architecture and fortifications.
The castle's position along the ancient Hellweg trade route made it instrumental in controlling river crossings and securing the path to Hildesheim.
