Beyernaumburg Castle

Nursing home

Beyernaumburg Castle is a partially preserved castle on a mountain spur at 270 m above sea level behind the present-day Beyernaumburg Palace in the municipality of Beyernaumburg in the Mansfeld-Südharz district in Saxony-Anhalt.

The hilltop castle was mentioned in the 9th century as "castellum Nivanburg" and in 979 as "civitas et castellum Niwanburch".

The castle was initially an imperial castle. The Archdiocese of Magdeburg and the Lords of Querfurt are named as owners of the castle.

From 1430 to 1653 it belonged to the Counts of Asseburg, from 1653 to 1945 to the Bülow family, who were dispossessed in 1945. In 1946, a retirement and nursing home was established in the castle.
