Wernigerode. Wernigerode Castle

The camera is installed on the terrace of the holiday home, Das Kleinste Haus, located at the foot of the hill on which the famous castle of Wernigerode is built. The first mentions of Wernigerode say that loggers lived here at the beginning of the second millennium. Then noble persons appeared here and in the twelfth century, Count Adalbert began the construction of the castle.

The modern look of the castle, which you can see on the screen, appeared only in the seventeenth century, when Wernigerode was rebuilt in Baroque style. Throughout its history, the castle descended from one German family to another. Well, now, this historic landmark belongs to tourists coming here from all over Germany and abroad. Wonderful viewing platforms, instruments of different epochs and magnificent interiors of Wernigerode instantly catch the castle guests’ eye.

After the Second World War, a museum was opened here, the exposition of which keeps extending to the present day.
