Niedere Allzunah stands in Harztor (Landkreis Nordhausen), in Thuringia, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Burg Niedere Allzunah is a castle ruin perched on a rocky spur near the village of Herrmannsacker, within the municipality of Harztor in Thuringia. Its history is closely tied to that of the nearby Burg Schadewald, only about two hundred metres to the north, the two sites together forming the group known as the Allzunah castles. What remains today is the oval outline of the former castle platform, bordered on three sides by a deep encircling ditch with an outer rampart, while the steep eastern slope provided natural defence. The site will appeal mainly to those interested in sparse medieval fortification remains rather than a restored monument.

What to know

  • This is a sparse ruin with no known visitor facilities, not to be confused with a restored castle.
  • The site lies about 1.3 kilometres north of Herrmannsacker and only 200 metres from the neighbouring Burg Schadewald.
  • Access is on foot, via a forest path leading up to the rocky spur.
  • The terrain includes a steep slope and a deep ditch, so sturdy footwear for woodland walking is advisable.
  • No verified information exists regarding opening hours or admission fees, as the site is freely accessible open ground.
