Schlossruine Herbsleben, Medieval castle ruins in Herbsleben, Germany.
The castle complex includes remaining stone walls reaching eight meters high, with preserved cellars and ground floor structures from different construction periods.
The castle underwent major renovations between 1555 and 1557 under architect Nikolaus Gromann, who reinforced the Romanesque walls with extensive fortifications.
The archaeological excavations that began in September 2000 revealed the remains of the St. Jakobus castle chapel dating back to 1230.
Visitors can access the castle ruins through a three-arched stone bridge spanning a 30-meter-wide moat at the end of Hauptstrasse.
The castle structure features two underground chambers beneath the chapel that served as dungeons, along with a medieval plumbing system.
