The newly renovated Eisfeld Castle with its beautiful inner courtyard is a real eye-catcher in the city.
In the castle there is u. the tourism information.

The Eisfelder Castle stands on the foundations of a former manor and now houses an extensive museum. The permanent exhibition deals with the history of Eisfeld and the surrounding area, with regional folk culture and the history of porcelain in southern Thuringia.

From 2013 to 2020, the castle will be renovated in keeping with the standards of the historic building, so that not all showrooms are always open.

All further information can be found on the website at museum-eisfeld.de.

The medieval Eisfeld Castle is an important architectural monument. It was built in the 13th century at the highest point in the city on the walls of an older weir system and was connected to the city fortifications that are now only in ruins. The simple building complex was the official residence of the sovereign bailiffs, after 1728 also served as the widow's seat of the Duchess Sophia Albertine of Saxony-Hildburghausen and most recently housed the district court with prison. The castle has a horseshoe-shaped floor plan and a round tower with an onion dome rises to the northeast. The castle has been used for cultural purposes since 1948/1949, it is the home of the Otto Ludwig Museum, which was opened in 1948 under the direction of Ernst Dahinten, with an important regional history collection (Wikipedia).
