The first part of the castle from around 1300 is the former residential tower, the foundation of which forms the castle tower today. In 1534, the reconstruction of the Renaissance castle began with the demolition of the previous castle. From 1550 the three palace wings were completed. The included tower received a new hood in 1551.

Sondershausen Castle in the town of the same name in Thuringia was the residence of the Princes of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen until 1918. The extensive complex has a construction history of almost 800 years with important room settings.
The current look of the palace is largely due to the classicist transformation of the complex by the Berlin architect Carl Scheppig. The former princely seat with the castle and town museum is one of the most important sights in the town of Sondershausen and is open to visitors.
