Stapelburg Castle, Medieval castle in Nordharz, Germany.
The stone fortification stands on a hilltop position at the northern edge of the Harz mountains, offering control over the regional military roads.
The Counts of Wernigerode constructed the castle before 1306 to protect the road connecting their ancestral castle to the imperial town of Goslar.
The castle structure represents the medieval architectural heritage of Saxony-Anhalt, featuring defensive elements common to German fortifications of that period.
The castle site maintains regular visiting hours throughout the year, with guided tours available through prior arrangement with the local tourism office.
The fortress served as a toll collection point and changed ownership multiple times, including a notable purchase by the Diocese of Halberstadt for 600 marks in 1394.
