Wernigerode Castle Poster
Schloss Wernigerode, or Wernigerode Castle, is a picturesque mediaeval castle located in the town of Wernigerode in the Harz Mountains of Germany. The history of the castle can be traced back to the 12th century when a fortress was initially built on the site. Over the centuries, Schloss Wernigerode underwent various expansions and renovations, reflecting the changing architectural styles and tastes of the times. The castle's current appearance is largely the result of 19th-century restoration work undertaken by the Counts of Stolberg-Wernigerode, who sought to transform it into a neo-Romanesque and neo-Gothic residence.
During the Middle Ages, Schloss Wernigerode served as the seat of the County of Wernigerode. The castle played a strategic role in the region's history, withstanding sieges and witnessing the socio-political changes of the time. It evolved from a mediaeval fortress into a more comfortable and stylised residence. In the 19th century, the castle became a significant cultural and social centre, hosting events and gatherings for the local nobility. Today, Schloss Wernigerode stands as one of the most visited castles in Saxony-Anhalt, drawing visitors with its well-preserved architecture, extensive collections of art and artefacts, and panoramic views of the Harz Mountains.
The castle complex includes the main castle building, a courtyard surrounded by various wings, and beautifully landscaped gardens. Visitors to Schloss Wernigerode can explore the opulent interior, which features period rooms, a museum showcasing the history of the castle and the region, and a collection of art and artefacts from different eras. The castle also hosts cultural events, concerts, and exhibitions, contributing to its role as a vibrant cultural landmark in the Harz region. Schloss Wernigerode continues to captivate tourists with its rich history, architectural splendour, and its scenic setting in the heart of the picturesque Harz Mountains.

I originally ordered this print in a larger size but was not pleased with the clarity of it. When I contacted Zazzle, they responded really quickly and were very helpful. I was able to reorder the print in a smaller size and it was shipped to me within a couple of weeks. The print was packaged well to ensure there was no damage during transit (Eco friendly, too!), and I am really pleased with it.
I am so grateful to the customer service team for the professional way they handled my order. I had this printed on matt finish card and I was really pleased with the quality. The colours were rich and the image sharp.
