Bremervörde Castle

Bremevorде Castle is a medieval fortress positioned between the Elba and Weser rivers in northern Lower Saxony. The original chancery building still stands and now houses a museum inside.

Construction took place between 1112 and 1122 under the order of Lothair III, commanding a strategic crossing over the Oste River. The site proved essential for controlling an important trade route.

Inside, a museum presents objects connected to medieval administration and daily routines within the fortress. Visitors see items that illustrate how a regional power center operated.

The castle sits in the town of Bremevorде, accessible via the railway station with direct connections to major German cities. Parking is available near the building for those traveling by car.

Following partial demolition in 1682, materials from the structure were transported away and reused in another city's construction project. The stones became part of a significant historical warehouse building elsewhere.
