Burg Klöden, Medieval castle in Klöden, Germany.

Burg Klöden is a medieval castle located in Jessen with vaulted cellars and spaces arranged across multiple stories. The structure includes a central courtyard and restored chambers that now serve as a restaurant venue.

The castle was first recorded in 965 AD when Emperor Otto I connected it economically to Magdeburg Monastery. It was built on a site where earlier Slavic fortifications had once stood.

The castle displays artifacts related to medieval justice and legal practices of the era. Visitors can see how such places functioned within the social and legal systems of their time.

The visit requires no special preparations, though narrow stairways and vaulted passages are part of the authentic structure. Sturdy footwear is recommended to safely navigate the uneven floors and steep passages.

Archaeological findings reveal that a Slavic fortification existed at this location around 700 AD. This early settlement predates the castle structure by several centuries.
