Other attractions in Wittenburg
Wittenburg Town Hall
● Wittenburg
If there were a beauty contest for town halls, the Wittenburg building would probably be one of the favorites to win. With its double staircase, archway and four huge rectangular towers, the restored building is more reminiscent of a castle than an administrative building. It would be hard to imagine a more beautiful setting for a fairy tale than Wittenburg Town Hall. Its unusual architectural style, based on English Tudor Gothic, makes Wittenburg Town Hall unique among the town halls of Mecklenburg. It was built in 1852 according to plans by the Schwerin court architect Georg Adolf Demmler and was officially opened on January 8, 1853. Today, Wittenburg Town Hall is one of the most important buildings from the historicism period. After extensive renovation in 1996, it now shines in new splendor and is a very popular photo motif.

Amtsberg Tower Wittenburg
● Wittenburg
The very name Wittenburg indicates that there must have once been a castle here. This was destroyed by Henry the Lion in 1150 and replaced by a new castle complex, on the foundations of which the official tower was erected in 1848. The late medieval gate tower of the once massive castle complex is the only part of the historical complex that has survived, apart from a few remains that are still visible today. This is part of the neoclassical official building erected in 1848, which gave the hill its current name. The ruins of the tower were renovated in 1998. Visitors can learn about the town's history here and in the Heimatstube (local history room) right next to the tower. There are also regularly changing exhibitions on the glazed viewing level. The surrounding park is also worth a visit.
