Burg Harste, Medieval castle ruins in Bovenden, Germany.

The stone remains of Burg Harste stand at the western part of Harste, surrounded by a water-filled moat and administrative buildings.

First mentioned in documents from 1294, the castle underwent multiple destructions and reconstructions until its final transformation into an administrative building in 1727.

The castle served as a key residence for the Duchy of Brunswick-Lüneburg, representing the power structure of medieval German territories.

The former castle grounds now house a business complex, with the main building preserved as a three-story stone structure with a hipped roof.

The castle's position at a toll station along the intersection of Hildesheim and Göttingen roads made it strategically important for medieval trade control.
