Merseburg was a royal palace, bishop’s seat and ducal residence. Of course, no castle could be missing. We set out to explore Merseburg Castle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The first castle in Merseburg was built by Bishop Heinrich von Warin from 1245 to 1265. Part of today’s east wing was built during this period.
A good 200 years later, from 1470 to 1500, Bishop Thilo von Trotha ordered the construction of a new three-winged castle. The fourth wing of the complex is still the Merseburg Cathedral, whose late Gothic nave was also commissioned by Thilo von Trotha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
