Forgotten History
Burg Liebenburg
Liebenburg, Germany
The Liebenburg was a medieval spur castle in Liebenburg in Lower Saxony, which was built between 1292 and 1302 and, with its seven towers, was considered one of the strongest castles in the Harz foothills. Today only individual parts of the outer bailey remain, such as defensive towers and sections of the curtain wall, which were extensively renovated in the 1990s. The castle complex, which had been severely damaged by war over the centuries, was demolished by the Prince-Bishop of Hildesheim Bishopric Clemens August in 1750. In its place he built an unfinished baroque pleasure and hunting palace with the castle church of the Annunciation, which is now privately owned.
