Freyburg

Freyburg is a municipality on the Unstrut River in the Burgenlandkreis, consisting of eight villages. The area sits in rolling terrain shaped by vineyards and the river's landscape.

The Neuenburg Castle, built between 1090 and 1220, reflects the Ludowinger family's rule from 1080 onward. The castle shaped regional development and remains central to understanding the medieval past.

Wine production has shaped this place for centuries and continues to influence how locals live and what defines the town's character. The craft of making wine remains woven into daily life and local pride.

The place is easily reached as a day trip from Naumburg or Leipzig and sits in a wine-rich region with walking paths. Combining nature with wine culture makes visits worthwhile throughout the year.

A major sparkling wine factory was founded here in 1856 and still produces wines sold across the country. This factory ranks among Germany's largest of its kind and remains a major employer in the region.
