The Katlenburg is a former castle and monastery complex. The complex, built on a mountain spur in the 11th century, was a monastery and the seat of an agricultural domain for a long time in its eventful history.
The castle restaurant has unfortunately been closed for several years.

The origins of the castle complex date back to the early 12th century and a document from 1105 documents the founding of a monastery

Since the beginning of the 1990s, Katlenburg has become known nationwide as a book castle. Around half a million old books are stored in their rooms. They are given in return for a donation.
