Burg und Schloss Allstedt

To make a day of it

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

The Pfalz Allstedt combines a former medieval royal residence with a Schloss shaped over many centuries, on a site that has been in use for more than a thousand years. The place is linked to the radical reformer Thomas Müntzer, who preached here in the early sixteenth century, and a museum now presents this episode through an exhibition devoted to his life. Visitors can see remains of the original fortified core alongside later additions that turned the stronghold into a residence.
