Wettin Castle
Wettin Castle is the ancestral seat of the House of Wettin located above the town of Wettin on the right bank of the Saale in Germany. The site survives today partly rebuilt and incorporated into later municipal buildings, but historically was a fortified hilltop residence of the dynasty.

As it stood in 1100
The shape it held in its prime.
A long, continuous roofed range of pale plastered walls sits directly above a rubble-stone curtain wall and battered stone base on a steep town-facing slope. The roof is steep and covered in red clay tiles; a tall, squared tower with small, regularly spaced square windows and ornamental stepped gables projects above the eastern end. The stone lower wall shows large vertical buttresses and irregular masonry; the whole complex crowns a shallow hill above clustered red-roofed houses.
