The entire interior of the castle is also worth seeing and is well explained with informative signs.

Wasserburg chapel village
Adelsburg - robber's nest - official residence

It was pledged by impoverished lords of the castle, for the city of Erfurt it was an important part of its castle policy, for a robber baron it was a safe hiding place and the Saxons used it as a judiciary and rent office. The history of the moated castle of Kapellendorf is as exciting as it is changeable. In the 14th century, the castle got its shape with a ring wall, moat and medieval residential tower. Today, Kapellendorf is one of the best-preserved castles in Thuringia and houses a castle museum.

The largest moated castle in Thuringia in the small village of Kapellendorf near Weimar comes from a wooden previous building from the 12th century.
In the 14th century it was rebuilt as a stone moated castle.
The castle is in good condition and is used today, among other things, for numerous cultural events.

A beautiful castle that you can visit and you can make a tour of the museum also equal. A small tour around the castle is also possible. With the bike from Weimar, the castle can be reached quickly without any problems.

It was founded in the 12th century and is currently used as a museum and as a venue. The Wasserburg Kapellendorf is a branch of the City Museum Erfurt (Wikipedia).
