Wernigerode Castle, Neo-Gothic castle in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany

The castle stands at 344 meters above sea level with multiple towers, Gothic windows, and Renaissance elements integrated into its architecture.

Built in the 12th century as a fortress, the castle underwent transformations from Gothic to Renaissance before its final Neo-Gothic reconstruction between 1862 and 1885.

The castle features galleries displaying art from the 19th century and hosts regular classical concerts in its medieval halls.

The castle museum opens daily with guided tours available in multiple languages, offering access to 50 furnished rooms for 9 euros per adult.

The architectural design creates different visual perspectives at every 45-degree turn around the castle's exterior.
