Schloss Goseck

The castle complex includes preserved sections of a monastery church with its eastern parts, transept, crossing, choir, and underground crypt from 1053.

First recorded in 881 as Gozzesburg, the structure transformed from a fortress into a Benedictine monastery in 1041 under the direction of Frederick of Goseck.

The castle features a multimedia exhibition presenting regional history and serves as a concert venue for early music and jazz performances.

The Cultural Foundation of Saxony-Anhalt manages the castle, which visitors can explore through guided tours focusing on medieval architecture and monastic life.

The Renaissance modifications of 1609 by Bernhard von Pölnitz created the current castle structure, replacing the original 13th-century church nave.
