Greiffenberg Castle

Greiffenberg Castle is a medieval fortification in Angermünde built from stone and still visible from a distance. The complex comprises several buildings arranged around a central courtyard with thick walls that once served as defense against attackers.

The castle was built in medieval times and became a major stronghold controlling trade routes across Brandenburg for centuries. It served to protect the territory and the networks of commerce that passed through the region.

The castle served for centuries as a residence for the local noble families who shaped the town below. Walking through its courtyards and rooms, you notice how space was organized to reflect the power and daily needs of the people who lived here.

The castle sits close to Angermünde's town center and is easy to reach along the main road through town. Parking is available nearby, making foot access to the entrance straightforward for most visitors.

The castle's location on higher ground means it remains visible from many points across town, serving as a natural landmark. This visibility helped make it a powerful symbol that dominated the landscape for local inhabitants over the centuries.
