View through Europeana Collections
The Moritzburg is a fortified castle in Halle (Saale). In 1484, the foundation stone was laid for the construction of a new residence for the archbishops of Magdeburg. It shows individual of late Gothic architecture and is today one of the most imposing buildings in the Saale city of Halle.
During the Thirty Years' War, large parts of the Moritzburg were damaged by fire in 1637, and in 1639 Saxon troops blew up the south-west bastion with a mine to force the Swedish garrison to surrender. After that, the castle remained largely in ruins and the residence of the Archbishop of Magdeburg was also officially moved to the neighbouring New Residence, built in 1531.
