Wiesenburg Castle, Medieval castle in Wiesenburg, Germany.

Wiesenburg Castle stands on an elevated position overlooking the Mulde river with its distinctive cone-shaped tower and well-preserved medieval keep surrounded by extensive Renaissance gardens.

Originally constructed around 1200 AD as a strategic fortress, the castle was reconstructed in Renaissance style after 1550 and underwent neo-Renaissance modifications between 1864 and 1880.

The castle houses a local history museum in its medieval keep featuring 17th and 18th century portal frames and the famous Männeken Gate with its distinctive figure.

Open Monday to Saturday with parking available at the nearby primary school, visitors can access guided tours through the Tourist Information Centre located in the gatehouse.

The castle grounds include one of central Germany's most important landscape parks featuring rare conifers, rhododendrons, and ponds designed by prominent 19th century garden architects.
