    Tips

    June 6, 2018

    The ruined castle Gleichen on the southern edge of the Thuringian Basin, together with the Mühlburg and the Wachsenburg, is probably the best-known ensemble of castles in Germany, the Drei Gleichen. The name "equals" is due to the Celtic word "resembling" for rocks or to the topographical similarity of castles on three conical mountains. The transfer of the name to the entire castles has been documented since the 18th century. However, the three plants never shared a common ownership.
    Admission: 3.00 € (as of 2018)
    Opening hours: 1st April - 31st October

      OPEN!
      The castle of Gleichen including the outside area and the castle museums in Mühlburg are only open from March to October from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. There is a lot to discover on the Mühlburg in the outdoor area.
