Harliburg, Medieval fortress ruins near Vienenburg, Germany
The remains of Harliburg castle stand on a 193-meter elevation in the Harly Forest, featuring circular ramparts and deep defensive moats.
Otto IV constructed Harliburg in 1203 as an imperial stronghold to protect the access roads leading to Goslar against Philip of Swabia's forces.
A medieval monk named Heinrich Rosla composed a Latin epic poem titled 'Heringsberga' dedicated to the historical events surrounding Harliburg.
The castle site lies 1 kilometer north-northeast of Vienenburg and 10 kilometers northeast of Goslar, accessible through forest paths.
After a four-month siege in 1291, the castle stones were dismantled and reused to construct the water castle of Wiedelah and castle of Vienenburg.
