Burg Schlanstedt, Medieval castle in Huy, Germany.

The fortress features a quadrangular design with half-timbered upper floors and a 25-meter high circular Romanesque tower from the 11th century.

The castle was acquired by the Diocese of Halberstadt in the early 14th century from the von Regenstein family for 600 Braunschweiger Marks.

Dr. Rimpau conducted agricultural research at the castle in 1888, achieving the first successful cross-breeding of rye and wheat, advancing German seed cultivation.

The castle now functions as a museum, event location, exhibition space, lookout tower, and restaurant, offering guided tours and overnight accommodations.

The castle grounds include a 24-meter deep courtyard well, discovered in 1994 when the municipality of Schlanstedt took control of the property.
