Burg Tangermünde stands in Tangermünde (Landkreis Stendal), in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Tangermünde castle rises above the Elbe on a hill enclosed by the walls of the medieval town, a site occupied for more than a thousand years. Emperor Charles IV kept it as a secondary residence to his Prague Hradschin, and the margraves of Brandenburg later made it their own seat. Largely destroyed by Swedish troops during the Thirty Years' War, the main building seen today was raised under Elector Frederick III, later king of Prussia. A castle museum on site now tells the story of this imperial and princely residence.

This place also features in The Hohenzollern castles
