Burg Hornburg, Medieval castle in Hornburg, Germany.
The castle stands on a limestone plateau above Hornburg, with its reconstructed keep and palace building forming a prominent silhouette against the landscape.
The fortress, first documented in 994 as property of the Bishopric of Halberstadt, controlled trade routes between Halberstadt, Braunschweig, and Hildesheim.
The birthplace of Pope Clement II in 1005, this castle represented the power of the Halberstadt bishops during the medieval period in Lower Saxony.
While the castle interior remains closed to visitors, the exterior structure and surrounding timber-framed buildings provide perspectives for photography.
Swedish military forces under Hans Christoff von Königsmarck destroyed the castle in 1645, leading to its reconstruction by Bodo Ebhardt in 1927.
