A great photo opportunity. Great for history buffs. Right next door is the beautiful Untstrut Valley.

Seeburg is dominated by the castle of the same name, visible from afar and rising majestically on a peninsula above the Süßer See (Sweet Lake). It is the western part of an ancient, very large refuge. Since the late 1990s, the castle has been divided into private ownership, changing hands several times. This has resulted in the castle remaining unrenovated, standing empty, and falling into disrepair. The Widow's Tower and the castle church, however, have been renovated and are owned by a fruit farm. They are used as a residence, for vacation apartments, as a registry office, and for concerts. The new orangery on the lake promenade represents a further step toward tourism. The architecturally sophisticated new building will allow year-round operation.

The ship's restaurant "Seeperle" has a rich history. In 1892, the passenger side-wheel steamer left the shipyard in Dresden-Blasewitz and was christened "Graf Molthe." At that time, the steamer sailed under the Saxon-Bohemian flag on the Upper Elbe. In 1945, it was confiscated by Czechoslovakia. In 1947, it was renamed "Königstein" and served with the "White Fleet Dresden" until its final decommissioning in 1972. The then Eisleben Consumer Cooperative purchased the ship and converted it into a restaurant. It was rechristened on July 7, 1973. This time, the ship was renamed "Seeperle" and became a restaurant with a bar on the Süßen See. In 1991, the ship's restaurant was again put up for sale. Long-time chef Jürgen Meinecke acquired the restaurant and has successfully run it ever since.

The Protestant city church of St. Lampert is dedicated to Saint Lambert of Liège. The three-aisled hall church, built between 1475 and 1523, was damaged in several city fires but was repeatedly rebuilt. In 1643, General Königsmarck had the upper part of the tower demolished because it likely threatened the castle's security.

In 979, a document first mentions a "Castellum." Querfurt has had a castle since then at the latest. The town itself was first mentioned in documents about a hundred years earlier. The castle was the ancestral seat of the noble lords of Querfurt, who for centuries were also burgraves of Magdeburg. With the death of Bruno XI of Querfurt in 1496, the noble family died out. The castle proved impregnable until 1640, but changed hands several times during the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648). The Swedish occupation lasted from 1642 to 1650. In 1663, the princes of Saxe-Querfurt made the castle their residence and Querfurt the capital of their domain.

The 57-meter-high Paris Tower at Querfurt Castle was originally called the Hausmannsturm (Houseman's Tower). It dates back to the late 14th century. Its baroque dome was added in 1659. It served as a fire watchtower until 1969; today, it can be climbed as an observation tower. There is also a tower dungeon.
