Moritzburg

Moritzburg Castle combines defensive architecture with residential elements, featuring four wings surrounding a courtyard and thick stone walls dating from 1484.

The castle served as a stronghold for the Archbishops of Magdeburg until the Thirty Years' War, when Swedish forces inflicted substantial damage to its structure.

The castle houses an art museum displaying collections of paintings, sculptures, and decorative arts from the Middle Ages through contemporary periods.

Located at Friedemann-Bach-Platz 5, the museum offers guided tours in multiple languages and maintains accessibility features throughout the building.

The 2008 renovation integrated modern architectural elements within the medieval structure, creating exhibition spaces that merge historical and contemporary designs.
