Burg Schraplau, Medieval castle ruins in Schraplau, Germany
The remnants of Burg Schraplau include two dry stone walls and foundations of a Romanesque fortification in the western section of the original structure.
The castle first appeared in records around 881 as Scrabenlebaburg, established under King Ludwig the German or his sons as a royal possession.
Archaeological excavations at Burg Schraplau revealed multiple construction phases, indicating the evolution of medieval defensive architecture in Saxony-Anhalt.
The castle ruins stand within the Saalekreis district, with limited access and minimal preserved structures available for examination by visitors.
Between 1574 and 1591, Count Christoph I of Mansfeld-Mittelort transformed the medieval fortress into a palace-style residence before its abandonment in 1732.
