    Ground monument and model of the former Blankenberg Castle. The medieval Blankenberg Castle, rebuilt into a palace since the early modern period, was blown up on June 14, 1948 on the basis of Order No. 209 of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany. Structural remains of the castle were uncovered after 1990. In 2007, on the occasion of the 775th anniversary, a 1:10 scale model of the castle was set up on a roundabout at the foot of the ruin. Magnificent view from the bastion of the Saale valley.

      Absolutely worth seeing and interesting ... in addition, then offer some benches also opportunity to rest

        Restored remains of a former spur castle over the Saale. 1:10 Model of the former castle on the site. Nice view over the Saale valley and Blankenberg. In the cross vaults of the manor house there is a small exhibition on the history of the castle with objects that were found during the restoration.
