The Spandau Citadel is a fortress in Berlin, and it is one of the best preserved Renaissance military structures in Europe. It was built in 1559 on this medieval fort located on an island, and it was designed to protect the town of Spandau - the town is now a part of Berlin. And also the inner courtyard is used as a concert venue in summer and has been once since 2005!
But this is a story of love and loss; of children who do the wrong thing; and of women who come back with a vengeance. While the ghost of the Spandau Citadel hasn’t been reported to be violent, she has appeared to the descendants of the Hohenzollern family. And lastly, we should mention here that there is still a bit of mystery surrounding her death - and if the skeleton they found in the citadel during renovations actually belongs to her…
Stay safe out there.
With love,
