Schloss Friedeburg overlooks the Saale valley from about thirty five metres up, in the town of Gerbstedt in Saxony-Anhalt. Built up from a medieval stronghold into a manorial residence over the centuries, it belonged for generations to the counts of Mansfeld before being plundered and partly abandoned, then gradually rebuilt. The plain, unplastered main building features two projecting bays topped with terraces, arranged around an inner and an outer courtyard of roughly triangular layout.
