Grillenburg, Medieval castle ruins in Grillenberg, Germany.
The castle displays distinct architectural elements with Romanesque fortification walls constructed from large rusticated ashlars and later period brickwork additions.
Built around 1217 for a ministerialis as a knight's castle, Grillenburg first appeared in records when Tidericus de Grellenberch served the Archbishopric of Magdeburg.
The castle structure represents the medieval military architecture of Saxony-Anhalt, reflecting the regional building techniques and defensive requirements of its time.
Located in the Mansfeld-Südharz district of Saxony-Anhalt, visitors can examine the remaining castle walls and explore the surrounding medieval settlement area.
During the Halberstadt Bishops' Feud, the castle became a strategic point, leading to the construction of a defensive counterwork 100 meters east of the main structure.
