    Tips

    August 7, 2025

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