Herzberg Castle, Renaissance castle in Herzberg am Harz, Germany.
The castle features a quadrangular layout with a rectangular courtyard measuring 40 by 58 meters, displaying a combination of stone and timber-framed construction.
Originally constructed between 1024 and 1029 as a hunting lodge, the castle underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1510 transformed it from medieval fortification to Renaissance residence.
The House of Welf maintained control of this castle for 700 years, establishing it as a center of nobility in Lower Saxony through generations.
Located at 4 Schloß in Herzberg am Harz, the castle maintains regular visiting hours and houses exhibitions about regional history.
The granite basements, completed in 1528, support one of the largest timber-framed structures in Lower Saxony, including the original gate tower and barbican.
