Giebichenstein Castle, Medieval castle in Giebichenstein district, Halle, Germany.
The castle stands on a high bank of the Saale River, featuring preserved Romanesque walls and a prominent turret overlooking the surrounding landscape.
Founded in the ninth century as a fortress, the castle later became a residence for the archbishops of Magdeburg until their relocation to Moritzburg in 1503.
The lower section of the castle now functions as a campus for the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design, established in 1919.
Visitors can reach the castle through multiple transportation options, including trains and buses that connect to central Halle and surrounding areas.
The castle grounds combine medieval architecture with contemporary art installations created by students of the resident art university.
