Burg Lindau stands in Zerbst/Anhalt (Landkreis Anhalt-Bitterfeld), in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 8th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Burg Lindau stands in ruins on a sandy spur overlooking the Nuthe river, near the town of Lindau in Saxony-Anhalt. Likely founded between the ninth and tenth centuries on what was once marshland, it is first documented in 1179 under a certain Evererus of Lindau. Visitors can still make out a round keep with walls over two metres thick, a double entrance gate, and traces of the wall that once separated the upper bailey from the outer one. The site retains the outline typical of a motte, despite fifteenth century alterations and a restoration of the keep carried out in 1863 under Duke Leopold Friedrich.

What to know

  • The site is an open-air ruin, with no set opening hours or admission fees.
  • The uneven ground and remains of the moat call for sturdy footwear.
  • The round keep and double entrance gate are the best preserved parts of the structure.
  • The site is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Saxony-Anhalt.
