history
The Höhenburg was a medieval round castle whose first mention as Rosburg in a deed of donation from the Ottonians to the Archdiocese of Magdeburg , dates to the year 965. It stood on a hill on the edge of the Saale valley and was the last castle before the Saale flows into the Elbe . The double gate system was built in the 12th century and the Zwinger in the 16th century. From 1717 to 1936 the castle was the seat of a Prussian office and a domain . From around 1770 the castle was converted into a palace , demolished again in 1798 and rebuilt by the Counts of Barby as a Renaissance-style office building with a round corner bay window and used as a residence. In 1937 it was expanded into a regional training castle . In April 1945 the complex burned out partially and was demolished together with the farm buildings in the course of the same year, so that only the original moat , the circular wall and the double gate system with Romanesque gate tower at the front gate remained. The castle ruins were exposed again in 1995. A partial restoration took place, which also included new ponds and a new park.
