Goseck Castle is therefore one of the border castles on the Saale. The "castrum antiquissimum" was the ancestral castle of the Counts Palatine of Saxony, who are first documented as the Counts of Goseck with Frederick I around 1000. Frederick I built a St. Simeon's Chapel next to the castle as the burial place of his family. The sons Adalbert, Dedo and Friedrich were not only important for Goseck. Adalbert (1000-1072) attended the cathedral school in Halberstadt, where he became canon and, in 1032, provost. In 1043, he was appointed Archbishop of Hamburg and Bremen. Missionaries reached as far as Iceland and Greenland on his behalf. In 1060, he established the bishoprics of Ratzeburg and Mecklenburg. Count Palatine Dedo founded a Benedictine monastery on the site of the old castle in 1041. His brother Frederick II founded a provostry in nearby Sulza. As early as 1183, the sale of monastery estates began and in 1540 the monastery period ended with secularization. In 1548 it came into the possession of Georg von Altensee.
Changing owners and extensive renovations in the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly by the von Pöllnitz family, gave the former monastery complex its Renaissance character. From 1840 to 1945, Goseck was owned by the Counts of Zech-Burkersroda. After 1945, the castle was used as a school and youth hostel. The castle has been owned by the foundation since 1997.
Today, it is home to the "European Music and Cultural Center Goseck Castle", which was founded by Schloss Goseck e.V. in 1998. The top-class Goseck Castle Concerts are mainly dedicated to early music and have an appeal that extends far beyond the borders of the Saale-Unstrut region.The Gosecker Heimat- und Kulturverein has lovingly set up a Heimatstube. It offers an insight into past life in the Saale valley. The castle courtyard with its famous 170-year-old ginkgo tree is particularly inviting in the warmer months.
At 7,000 years old, the oldest solar observatory is located very close to Goseck. It is a stop on the "Himmelswege" tourist route. There is an information center at the castle.
Le château de Goseck fait donc partie des châteaux frontaliers sur la Saale. Le "castrum antiquissimum" était le château ancestral des comtes palatins de Saxe, dont l'existence est attestée pour la première fois avec certitude en tant que famille de comtes de Goseck avec Frédéric Ier vers l'an 1000. Frédéric Ier construisit à côté du château une chapelle Saint-Siméon comme lieu de sépulture de sa lignée. Les fils Adalbert, Dedo et Friedrich ne furent pas seulement importants pour Goseck. Adalbert (1000-1072) fréquenta l'école de la cathédrale de Halberstadt, où il devint chanoine et, en 1032, prévôt de la cathédrale. En 1043, il fut appelé à devenir archevêque de Hambourg et de Brême. Des missionnaires arrivèrent en son nom jusqu'en Islande et au Groenland. En 1060, il créa les évêchés de Ratzeburg et de Mecklembourg. Le comte palatin Dedo fonda en 1041 un monastère bénédictin à l'emplacement de l'ancien château. Son frère Frédéric II a fondé une prévôté à Sulza, non loin de là. Dès 1183, la vente des biens du monastère a commencé et en 1540, l'époque du monastère s'est terminée avec la sécularisation. En 1548, il devint la propriété de Georg von Altensee.
Grâce à des changements de propriétaires et à d'importantes transformations aux 16e et 17e siècles, notamment par la famille von Pöllnitz, l'ancien monastère a acquis son caractère Renaissance. De 1840 à 1945, Goseck était la propriété des comtes de Zech-Burkersroda. Après 1945, le château a servi d'école et d'auberge de jeunesse. Depuis 1997, le site est la propriété de la fondation.
Aujourd'hui, le "Centre européen de musique et de culture du château de Goseck" y a son siège, fondé par l'association Schloss Goseck e.V. en 1998. Les concerts de haut niveau du château de Goseck sont principalement consacrés à la musique ancienne et ont un rayonnement qui dépasse largement les frontières de la région de Saale-Unstrut.L'association culturelle et d'histoire locale de Goseck a aménagé avec soin une salle d'histoire locale. Elle offre un aperçu des mondes de vie passés dans la vallée de la Saale. La cour du château, avec son célèbre ginkgo âgé d'environ 170 ans, est une invitation à la détente, surtout à la belle saison.
Le plus ancien observatoire solaire, vieux de 7 000 ans, se trouve à proximité de Goseck. C'est une étape sur l'itinéraire touristique "Himmelswege" (chemins du ciel). Le château abrite un centre d'information.
Nestled in the rolling hills of Saxony-Anhalt, the castle in Goseck is a place steeped in history. First mentioned as "Gozzesburg" in the 9th century, it was initially the ancestral seat of the Saxon Counts Palatine. In 1041, parts of the medieval fortress were demolished to make way for a Benedictine monastery.The monumental abbey church built here was modeled after the imperial cathedral at Speyer.The monastery period ended with the Reformation and the estate was transformed into a Renaissance castle.
Over the centuries, the castle in Goseck was used as a granary, a secondary school and a youth hostel. However, a long period of abandonment left its mark before extensive restoration work began in 1997. Since then, the Castle Goseck has gained recognition as a cultural venue.
A particular highlight is the restored 11th century crypt, which has regained its medieval aura. A permanent multimedia exhibition invites visitors to explore the complex history of the castle. Music lovers appreciate the concerts organized by Schloss Goseck e.V., which take place in the historic rooms and combine the heritage of the past with classical music.
Today, Castle Goseck offers visitors a unique combination of history and culture, promising an exciting journey into the past.
