    One of the landmarks of the town of Eisfeld is the castle, which is essentially a medieval castle complex. Today it houses the town's museum with an extensive porcelain exhibition, historical workshops, toys, town history and regional folklore. The museum is a treasure trove that is waiting to be discovered with many opportunities to try things out, marvel and learn. Take your time to discover Eisfeld Castle.

    The Eisfeld Museum also includes the Otto Ludwig Poet Memorial for the poet born in Eisfeld in 1813 and the Inner German Border Memorial - Eisfeld-Rottenbach Border Crossing, which are also worth a visit.

      Eisfeld Castle, a Franconian manor house from the 9th century, is essentially a medieval castle complex. The Stone House (palace) was built around 1090 and the keep in the 12th century. The castle has undergone many changes over the centuries. Since 1316, with the privilege of walling the town, the castle has formed the north-eastern part of Eisfeld's new town. In 1360 the bower was built and in 1558 the "new building" was built, which opens onto the town through a vaulted gateway built in 1580 and today forms the gatehouse. The economic wing (kitchen wing), built in 1555, between the palace and bower, gave the castle complex a closed horseshoe shape. The kitchen wing was replaced in 1886 by a prison building in the Wilhelminian style.
