Schloss Leitzkau, Romanesque castle in Leitzkau, Germany
The castle complex includes a preserved Romanesque basilica and structures built in the Weser Renaissance architectural style during the 16th century renovation.
The foundation dates to the 12th century when Premonstratensian canons established a monastery, which later transformed into a castle under Hilmar von Münchhausen in 1564.
The castle now functions as the headquarters of the Cultural Foundation of Saxony-Anhalt, offering exhibitions about regional heritage and architectural history.
The castle courtyard and former basilica remain open to visitors during regular business hours, with guided tours available through the local support group.
The castle features a pottery market in September and transforms into a winter celebration space during the first Sunday of Advent.
