Katlenburg, Medieval castle in Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany
The castle sits on an elevated position with stone walls measuring 3.4 meters in thickness and contains two square defensive towers from the 17th century.
Construction of Katlenburg began around the year 1000, making it one of the earliest fortified structures in the Lower Saxony region of Germany.
The castle grounds serve as a venue for educational programs where visitors learn about medieval construction techniques and defensive architecture.
Guided tours of the castle start at the main entrance every two hours between 10:00 and 16:00, with information about the structure in German and English.
The castle's position allowed defenders to monitor traffic along multiple trade routes, controlling movement through the valleys of Lower Saxony.
