Burg Beyernaumburg, Medieval castle ruins in Allstedt, Germany.
Description
Burg Beyernaumburg stands on a mountain ridge near Allstedt and shows the remains of medieval fortifications. A tall tower and a deep moat surrounding the grounds give visitors a sense of how the stronghold once defended the area.
History
The site received its first written record in the 9th century under the name 'castellum Nivanburg'. Over the following centuries, the fortress served military and administrative purposes in the region.
Culture
The castle grounds contain multiple graves of the von Bülow family, who maintained ownership of the property until 1945.
Practical
The tower remains accessible for visitors who want to climb it and view the surrounding landscape. Wear sturdy footwear since parts of the ruins can be uneven and slippery, especially after rain.
