Burg Questenberg is the ruin of a medieval feudal castle set on a hill roughly 280 metres high, north of the village of Questenberg in Saxony-Anhalt. It was built between 1200 and 1250, most likely commissioned by the Counts of Beichlingen, and passed through the hands of several noble and comital families over the following centuries. What remains today is the keep, part of the surrounding wall, two cellars and one wall of the former hall building. Inside the keep, visitors can see old incised drawings carved into the stone.
