The castle, built around 1547, was built in the Renaissance style and was renovated in 2003 and converted into a barrier-free hotel. The castle was owned by the von Wangenheim family from its construction until 1844.

Behringen Castle in Behringen am Hainich in Thuringia mainly dates from the Renaissance and Baroque periods. It was built from the 16th century under the von Wangenheim aristocratic family, who lived in Behringen from 1305 until the expropriation in 1945. (Wikipedia)

Behringen Castle was built in the 16th century.
Many changes have been made in the meantime. In the meantime, a hotel operation has started in the castle.
Also very beautiful is the castle park located behind, which is also the beginning of the sculpture trail, which runs for almost four kilometers to the Hainich Nature Park.
