    High medieval residence of the Landgraves of Thuringia. Romanesque castle with residential tower, palas, castle gate and ring wall.

      Despite some reconstruction in the Renaissaince, the Runneburg is one of the most important Romanesque secular buildings in Germany. Everything here smells of history. It smells of St. Elizabeth of Thuringia, Emperor Otto IV and Walther von der Vogelweide. Do not you think so? Research and tradition worthwhile.

        Worth seeing castle.
        Here, years ago, I was at the Medieval Festival, which was still shot with the original slingshot.
        Too bad it does not exist anymore. Feast and people were great.
        But there is still a similar sling in Wunsiedel, the Katharina.

          Worth seeing castle complex.
          Years ago I was at the medieval festival here, where the true-to-the-original slingshots were still being used.
          Too bad it doesn't exist anymore. Festival and people were great.
          There is a similar slingshot in Wunsiedel, the Katharina.

            Runneburg Castle is maintained and looked after by the Weissensee Castle Administration. Despite its small size, it is a really beautiful complex. The coveted Touring stamp box 376 is also located in the courtyard.

              It's a shame that it doesn't exist anymore. The festival and the people were great.

                Stamp box is in the castle. When you come in. Left in the yard.
