Schloss Ballenstedt, Baroque castle in Ballenstedt, Germany.
The three-winged castle stands on a hill at the western end of the city, featuring a prominent north wing that contains remnants of the former monastery church.
The castle transformed from a medieval monastery complex into a baroque residence for the Princes of Anhalt-Bernburg during the early 18th century construction phase.
The south wing contains an exhibition called 'Höfische Wohnen' that reconstructs the living conditions of the Ascanian family between 1860 and 1945.
Visitors can explore the castle Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with entrance fees of 5 euros for adults and 3 euros for reduced admission.
The castle tower offers views of the surrounding Harz landscape and the hunting lodge Röhrkopf, while the basement holds the tomb of Albrecht the Bear.
