Oberhof Ballenstedt

The three-winged Renaissance building features high stone walls, pointed gables, and distinctive architectural elements on all three sides of the structure.

Built in the second third of the 16th century, the Oberhof was initially constructed as a fortified town castle for the lords of Stammern.

The interior preserves numerous original construction elements, including cross-ribbed vaults with central pillars, decorated wall panels, and profiled beam supports.

The property spans approximately 15,000 square meters and contains a children's day care center that has operated within the former castle since 1948.

Three arched connecting passages between the west and east wings were added to the northern side of the inner courtyard during the 19th century.
