Stock Photo - 16 February 2023, Saxony-Anhalt, Falkenstein: As a popular excursion destination, Falkenstein Castle also has a stamp box for hikers. Falkenstein Castle in the southern Harz region is about to undergo extensive construction work. The exhibition is also to be redesigned. Of the 200 million euros that the federal and state governments are providing in a special investment program for outstanding architectural monuments in the inventory of the Saxony-Anhalt Cultural Foundation, money is also to flow to Falkenstein Castle. Two wings are to be renovated. The plan is to renovate the north wing, where the King's Room is located, and the west wing, which includes the chapel. The plan includes, for example, structural restoration and the repair of wood damage. The fortified complex was built at the beginning of the 12th century and passed as a fiefdom to the noble Asseburg family in the 15th century.
