Review:
Built atop the Harz Mountains in the 19th century, Wernigerode Castle is one of the most visited in Saxony-Anhalt. After its initial construction by the Counts of Wernigerode, the castle was rebuilt as a Schloss in the baroque style by Count Christian Ernest in 1710. What visitors see presently is the remains of another reconstruction conducted in 1893 in the neo-Romantic style by Count Otto, a descendant of Count Ernest. Visitors can go on museum tours that take them through the decadently furnished rooms that once housed German nobility. Walking through the terraces and buildings of the castle grounds, visitors will be taken back in time and better understand German history.
