Description

Bernburg Castle, also called the "Crown of Anhalt", is a Renaissance palace in Bernburg (Saale), Saxony-Anhalt. It rises on high sandstone cliffs above the eastern bank of the Saale, at the site of a former ford. The palace complex goes back to a medieval hilltop castle. The complex is partly owned by the town of Bernburg (Saale) and partly by the Kulturstiftung Sachsen-Anhalt.
