With clear visibility, you can enjoy the gentle hills of the Huy and the striking heights of the Harz at the same time – especially beautiful at sunrise or sunset.

Often, in the late afternoon or at sunset, you have a wide view from there over the fields of the northern Harz foothills – with the wooded Huy behind you and the "flat" hinterland in front. If there is a bit of wind, this transition from forest edge, hill, and open landscape appears particularly calm and vast.

Warberg Castle is situated in a very attractive landscape on the northern slope of the Elmes River. After the destruction of the first motte-and-bailey castle in 1199, the complex was probably replaced in the 13th century by a fortified moated castle on an artificially created hill in the valley. In a war waged by Duke Magnus the Elder of Brunswick in 1347 against Archbishop Otto of Magdeburg, the noblemen Gebhard and Burchard von Warberg fought as leaders of the duke, who was defeated that same year. As a result of these military events, Warberg Castle was severely damaged in 1356 but was subsequently restored. In 1552, Christoph von Warberg converted the castle into an impressive Renaissance palace, which is documented in a Merian engraving from 1654. The very beautiful and well-preserved niche portal on the side facing the courtyard dates from this period. The addition of a storey to the old upper castle building resulted in such an increase in load that the foundations could not adequately withstand the pressure, and the two upper floors had to be demolished. At the beginning of the 16th century, during the Thirty Years' War, the noble von Warberg family began to decline. The castle was gradually demolished except for the ground floor walls. A temporary roof, probably dating from the 19th century, made it possible to preserve the remaining structure, which from then on served to manage the domain. The present castle complex is divided into a renovated lower castle, used by the Bundeslehranstalt Burg Warberg e.V. as a seminar hotel, and the now also renovated upper castle, which was reopened to the public on April 25, 2004. The German Foundation for Monument Protection was involved in the renovation of Warberg Castle in 2000 and 2001.
