Burg Ummendorf, Medieval castle in Ummendorf, Germany.

The castle features a tall defensive tower from the 12th century, topped with an octagonal chamber added during the 16th century modifications.

Archbishop Friedrich I of Wettin established the castle in 1178 to protect the border region that now separates Saxony-Anhalt from Lower Saxony.

The Börde Museum within the castle walls displays agricultural exhibits, traditional tools, and maintains a garden containing 400 different plant species.

The castle houses both the regional museum and an elementary school in its south wing, making it an educational center for the community.

The castle library contains a collection of 380 books dating from the 17th and 18th centuries, which will be displayed in the museum.
