    The fortresses were first mentioned in 1217. The moated castle was built between 1512 and 1519 and later destroyed. It was then rebuilt and fortified between 1664 and 1668. There has been a youth hostel and a café in it since the 1970s.

      The fortress Heldrungen is a fortress used until 1712 with two moats, four Vauban bastions and five roundels and is located in Thuringian Heldrungen, district of An der Schmücke on the southern edge of the Golden Aue southeast of Bad Frankenhausen. The core of the fortress appears as a fortified castle from 1519, while the surrounding ramparts and bastions date back to 1668. The main gate of the fortress is in turn flanked by two mighty round towers (Wikipedia).
