At the confluence of the Erle and Nahe, in the middle of the small medieval town of Schleusingen, stands the mighty Bertholdsburg Castle. From the 13th century onwards it served as the ancestral seat of the Counts of Henneberg and is the oldest residential castle in Thuringia. In the 15th and 16th centuries the fortified castle was converted into an early modern castle in the Renaissance style. Today the castle houses the Natural History Museum. The 40-metre-high main tower offers a picturesque view of the southern foothills of the Thuringian Forest.
