Schloss Groß Germersleben, Medieval château in Groß Germersleben, Germany

The castle features a regular three-winged Baroque design with four three-quarter round corner towers and a surrounding landscape park with a pond.

The castle, first documented in 1286, belonged to the Archbishop of Magdeburg before being transferred to Hans von Kotze in 1489.

The building represents the architectural evolution from a medieval lowland castle to a Renaissance residence between 1536 and 1601.

The castle underwent multiple ownership changes and served various community functions, including as a kindergarten from 1945 to 1990.

A fire caused by arson on November 3, 1999, resulted in extensive damage to the structure, marking a turning point in its preservation.
