Burg Harsefeld, Medieval castle ruins in Harsefeld, Germany.

The castle site features foundations of stone structures, surrounded by a 3.5-meter deep and 10-meter wide moat in Lower Saxony.

Heinrich von Stade constructed the castle in 969 after receiving the County of Stade following the death of Wichmann the Younger.

The castle grounds transformed into a monastery in 1001, serving as the burial place for the nobles of the Udonen family.

Archaeological excavations in 1992 and 1993 uncovered only a small portion of the original one-hectare castle grounds.

Remains of an 8th-century wooden building and a pit house were discovered during archaeological investigations of the castle site.
