Burg Aerzen, Medieval castle in Aerzen, Germany.
The stone and timber castle stands on elevated ground near Hamelin, featuring a rectangular layout with multiple wings and architectural elements from different periods.
First documented in 1293 as 'borch Artelsen', the castle belonged to the Lords of Everstein who supported the Hohenstaufen rulers in the 12th century.
The castle now functions as a municipal center where local associations gather for events and activities, maintaining its role in community life.
Visitors can reach the castle by taking regional trains to Hamelin station and then connecting to local bus services that stop in Aerzen.
During the Thirty Years' War in 1642, Weimar troops set fire to the castle, leading to its reconstruction with an additional half-timbered wing in the 1750s.
