Burg Gardelegen stands in Gardelegen (Altmarkkreis Salzwedel), in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Gardelegen Castle, recorded in old documents under the name Isenschnibbe, was a territorial stronghold founded in the 10th century in Gardelegen, in Saxony-Anhalt. Used as a residence by the margraves of Brandenburg under the Ascanians, it passed in 1378 into the hands of the von Alvensleben family, who held it until 1857. The stronghold was torn down at the end of the 18th century and replaced by a manor-style building, so no medieval remains survive on the site today.
