I've driven past there several times. And today decided to invest an hour. Once you have found the entrance, the climb to the castle (ruins) is worth it. Everything was well explained and a great view over Halle and the Saale. The tower is also accessible; From there you can see the whole of Halle-Neustadt. By the way, entry costs €4; more than fair, in my opinion.

Very nice to admire from the outside, walk around and enjoy. The view is also worth seeing! A sight for the family or alone. Art in the castle ruins! Well maintained! That's why the entrance fee is justified! A photo tour that is worth it. And right next to it is the pier for tours on the Saale and a tram connection. You can eat on the banks of the Rive in the "Elfengrund" with beer and bratwurst or coffee and cake. Excellent Perfect Nice

Since the castle is very centrally located on a higher plateau, it is not difficult to enjoy a beautiful panoramic view over Halle. The ruins of the upper castle and the well-preserved keep are a highlight. Small festivals often take place up here. The art college with its annual exhibition is located in the lower castle.

Beautiful castle complex Nice view from the tower once you have mastered the many steps There are many explanations on the office building. It's worth a visit, in my opinion 😀 Unfortunately I deducted a star because the castle cellar was not open. When I asked an employee, he said he didn't have the key with him.

Are you seeking a peaceful and picturesque escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life? Look no further than the enchanting Giebichenstein Castle. Nestled atop a beautiful hill in Halle, Germany, this historic gem offers an idyllic setting to unwind, reflect, and reconnect with oneself. Upon arrival, I was immediately captivated by the castle's serene atmosphere. The lush green surroundings and gentle breeze create a soothing ambiance, perfect for taking a leisurely stroll or indulging in quiet contemplation. The breathtaking views of the river and surrounding landscape only add to the charm of this magnificent place. As I explored the castle grounds, I discovered numerous well-maintained paths that provided ample opportunity for leisurely walks.

I couldn't help but appreciate the solitude and tranquility that the castle and its grounds offered, giving me the chance to focus on my thoughts and enjoy my own company. For history enthusiasts, Giebichenstein Castle provides a rich and fascinating insight into the past.

In conclusion, Giebichenstein Castle is a must-visit for those seeking a peaceful and scenic retreat. The combination of its stunning landscape, rich history, and tranquil atmosphere creates a truly unique experience. Whether you're a history buff or simply in search of some quiet time to reflect and unwind, this picturesque gem is sure to leave you feeling rejuvenated and inspired..

Giebichenstein Castle is a sight in Halle that should definitely be visited. You have a view over the Kröllwitzer Bridge and the Saale. I went to a summer festival where the castle was lit up in the evening and looked very romantic.

Beautiful, so peaceful and a lovely place for just wandering around and getting lost

If you come to Halle, this is one attraction you MUST NOT miss. There is so much history behind it and it's still in use. The view is stupendous and breath taking. We strongly recommend this site to visit.

Nice park with very good views. Not overcrowded

RUINE IS CLOSED IN THE WINTER ☹️I think from October to the end of March, it's been in front of the closed door several times, but it's even more worth it in the summer. You can look into the art university and admire the entire surrounding area from a small tower. The ruins are also very interesting

Very nice view from the castle hill and the tower over Halle, takes a short walk. But don't expect too much - it's ruins with info-plates.

There was no place to see inside the castle. There are some ruined walls and an open area for sitting, which can be done by the river for free. The top of the tower has a good view, but the windows are too small to enjoy the view. Two stars only because we took a lot of pictures of the view

Good view on the top of tower, good place for evenings. Students get discount on tickets

(Translated by Google) Yesterday and today, pure romance (Original) Gestern wie Heute, Romantik pur

Old castle nothing really great about it.

Very impressive caste with a nice overview!!!

Fragmentary castle ruin, not much to see in the way of castle but excellent views of the surrounding Saale Valley.

(Translated by Google) What an incredibly beautiful student city! Here: fine arts (Original) Was für eine unglaublich schöne Studentenstadt! Hier: bildende Kunst

Very idyllic place.

Great castle ruins, there are QR codes everywhere where you can find out history. The climb is not very strenuous, but not barrier-free. Fair entrance fees and you have a great backdrop

If you visit Halle, you should first go to the market square and after an awesome 360 ​​degree turn to the tourist information center. The lady said that you had a beautiful view of the Saale from the castle. What? A castle? Well, more ruin - but very interesting. The city museum takes care of it. Restaurants can also be found up next to the tower. The view is really great from above. The city museum has also peppered the area with QR codes behind which historical facts can be found. To get to the site, you have to walk down a path to the right of the castle or walk Rtg Brücke and then down to the banks of the Saale. You have to climb stairs at a castle. And remember the QR codes along the way. Behind it you can also find the explanation of the name of the castle!

Just really beautiful there

It was a nice place and am glad I visited it

Great view. Great Art. The schoolnof Art uses part of the lower buildings and you can eat in the student's canteen.

Every other castle in the region is free.. this one offers nothing and they charge you for it. For 4€ you can easily get a Kebap.. it's just a tower.. nothing more.. whether worth the time or the money..

Overall, it is a place with beautiful architecture with nice landscape( river nearby and hiking paths on small mountain). You can see the entry price at the entrance of Obenburg, the castle located behind the "Burg art university", after walking along the forest road. If possible, it is also very nice to enter the university gate and wander around in the university. It is not really big, but is filled with artistic stuffs and relaxing atmosphere.

One of the historical landmarks in Halle. A must see

Everything is fine, nice castle, I recommend it

Simply beautiful

Nice and calm place…
