Hasserode Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Wernigerode, Germany

The castle stood near Hasserode railway station, featuring defensive walls, moats, and fortified structures designed for military protection against potential threats.

First documented in 1236 through a charter by Bishop Ludolf of Halberstadt, the castle served as a stronghold for the local nobility.

The castle site represents medieval German fortification architecture and military engineering principles common in the Harz region during the Middle Ages.

No visible remains of the castle exist today, as its materials were used to fill the moat, and the area now belongs to the former Burgmühle.

The landscape painter Pramme created a detailed painting depicting the castle complex surrounded by water and protective fortifications.
