Burg Weferlingen, Medieval castle ruin in Oebisfelde-Weferlingen, Germany
The castle consists of two parallel mounds with a five-meter-wide ditch between them, located in the southeastern part of Weferlingen among pastures.
First documented in 1297 as castrum Weferlingen, the castle was sold by Burchard von der Asseburg to the city of Braunschweig and destroyed by its mercenaries in 1300.
During the 17th century, the Landgraf von Hessen-Homburg established residence in the castle, which later gained recognition through Heinrich Kleist's literary works.
The castle opens every third Sunday between April and October from 14:00 to 16:00, with entry fees of 1 euro for adults and 0.50 euros for children under 10.
In 1944, American bombers targeted the castle site during World War II, mistaking its rectangular ground structures for a military munitions storage facility.
