Gersdorfer Burg, Medieval castle ruins in Quedlinburg, Germany.
The octagonal keep of Gersdorfer Burg stands 24 meters tall with walls 3 meters thick, dominating the landscape southeast of Quedlinburg.
First mentioned in 1155, the castle served as a stronghold for Count Thietmar before undergoing significant renovations by Count Gardun of Hadmersleben in 1303.
The castle grounds contain remnants of a medieval village layout and agricultural structures that reflect the evolution of German settlement patterns.
Located at 140-150 meters elevation, the site provides access to nearby historical watchtowers Seweckenwarte and Bicklingswarte within 5 kilometers distance.
The castle's structural transformation in 1756 preserved only its massive keep, while the remaining stones were repurposed for a new manor complex.
