Burg Schlanstedt stands in Huy (Landkreis Harz), in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 10th century. No visits are on record for this building.
Burg Schlanstedt stands at the southwestern edge of the village of Schlanstedt, part of the municipality of Huy. Founded in the 11th century by the lords of Schlanstedt to guard a crossing over the Große Bruch, it passed through many hands over the centuries, from the diocese of Halberstadt to the electors of Brandenburg, before becoming a Renaissance residence built onto the medieval stronghold in the 17th century. Its 11th-century round Romanesque keep, 25 metres tall, still towers over the grounds, alongside the remains of a gate tower, a 24-metre-deep well and a dungeon.
