Schloss Stiege, Medieval castle in Stiege, Germany.
Located on a mountain in Oberharz am Brocken, Schloss Stiege features four corner towers with its southwestern tower standing as the only remaining complete structure.
Heinrich I commissioned the construction of this castle around 919 as a hunting lodge and rest stop for travelers crossing through the Harz mountains.
The castle transformed from a hunting lodge to a noble residence when Count Siegfried von Blankenburg received it as a fief from Emperor Otto IV.
Visitors can explore the castle cafe with homemade cakes, browse the home decor shop, and stay in the holiday apartment at Kirchstraße 31.
A 40-meter-high drawbridge once connected the castle across its defensive moat, demonstrating the substantial fortification measures of medieval German castles.
