Hundisburg Landscape Park

Hundisburg Castle is located on a greywacke spur not far from the district town of Haldensleben. In the 16th century, the von Alvensleben family converted a castle that originally stood here into a Renaissance palace. After being destroyed in the Thirty Years' War, the castle and gardens were rebuilt and extended in the Baroque style of the time in 1693. 

A fire destroyed the complex in November 1945. In 1994, the castle, baroque garden and landscape park became the property of the town of Haldensleben and reconstruction work began in line with the preservation order. The 100-hectare park, laid out in the style of an English landscape park, is also included in this process. Hundisburg Castle is part of the "Saxony-Anhalt Garden Dreams" system; a nature and history trail leads through the park. The northern part of the castle houses the "House of the Forest" - the central information and experience centre on the subject of "forests" in Saxony-Anhalt.

With a forest experience exhibition and numerous offers for all age groups, there is the opportunity to learn new and interesting facts about the natural habitat "forest" all year round.
